Bird Movement Pause Due to Health Concerns | Bermuda News

Bird movement is temporarily halted across the island until September 21st, affecting all domestic and exotic birds — from backyard chickens to pet emus. The pause follows concerns that some imported birds may lack proper health documentation and could pose risks to local wildlife and agriculture. While no disease outbreaks are confirmed, authorities urge bird owners to keep their animals securely housed, avoid transfers or gifts, and prevent contact with wild birds. Report any unusual behavior or deaths to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as part of a precautionary effort to safeguard animal and public health.
