after getting the apha office in to check on a suspect pmv outbreak they put me on their register so now I am flaged in their system and from time to time they will send out information of notifiable avian diseases biosecurity information for all bird keepers this means they can come to my door at any time, but their latest contact was with a leaflet on alerts stating if you believe that your flock may have any form of notifiable disease you must contact your local apha office immediately failure to do so can be deemed an offence,this goes for poultry or pigeons they! are all the same to them so to keep the pigeons in is not a big deal.
