Avian influenza (bird flu) outbreaks - Latest situation

29th March 2025

An Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) was declared across the whole of Scotland on 25 January 2025.

This zone introduces strict biosecurity measures for all bird keepers - including those who keep pet birds - to help prevent the spread of avian influenza from wild birds or any other source. Read more: what keepers and backyard owners should do.

The AIPZ does not include a requirement to house birds. However, this is being kept under constant review. The decision to implement this zone follows a risk assessment of the latest scientific evidence and veterinary advice. Similar measures are in place in the rest of the UK.
