AVC Wildlife Service temporarily closes intake of wild birds
Recently, a highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) of subtype H5N1 has been confirmed in Atlantic Canada. Although this virus typically causes little or no harm to wild birds and waterfowl, it can result in severe illness in some bird species, domestic poultry, and, under certain circumstances, people.
This is an evolving situation that is being closely monitored by provincial and federal agencies. As a result, the Canadian Wildlife Service has issued new guidelines regarding the rehabilitation of wild birds in Canada.
