They further stated that they have strict biosecurity measures in place already, but the scale and speed of the spread of this year’s outbreak means they do not have appropriate facilities to isolate the large number of birds we could expect to admit.They asked members of the public not to touch sick birds but instead call their free animal helpline on 03000 999 999 to report the incident.The SSPCA also warned that in rare cases, bird flu can infect humans.
