Bird flu, also known as avian influenza or H5N1, is a disease caused by a virus that infects birds and sometimes other animals.

Defra has placed England in an "avian influenza protection zone" to prevent bird flu and stop it spreading.

The agency “continues to prioritize the response to highly pathogenic avian influenza,” it told the news agency.
