Why is bio security so important?
Biosecurity reduces the chance of introducing or spreading disease. Keep equipment clean, restrict unnecessary contact with other birds and protect feed and water from wildlife. Plan quarantine for new arrivals with your vet. If several birds become unexpectedly sick or die, avoid moving birds and seek official advice immediately.
Practical biosecurity habits
Keep footwear and equipment clean, protect feed and water from wildlife and agree a quarantine plan for new arrivals. Cleaning alone cannot prevent every disease. Follow current state and territory directions when animal-health restrictions apply.
