EmailThis sign can by used by fairs to communicate to the public why live birds are not present at the event.
It states:
We’re keeping them home to keep them healthy.
You may have noticed a few animals missing from the fair: chickens, turkeys, ducks and other birds. This is a biosecurity action taken to protect our feathered friends against the spread of avian influenza, a contagious animal disease deadly to birds.
By exercising strict biosecurity practices — such as keeping birds from different farms away from one another — poultry farmers and 4-H families with bird projects are better able to protect their animals. We hope to be able to share these animals with you again next year.
