It is the Safe4 disinfectant that our vet recommended, they are approved by Defra. You need to get the odourless one to ensure it's safe for use around birds.
Another tragic case and just up the coast line from myself and Andrew is closer still @Zooamazons
Basically a wildlife centre took in some dumped chickens and they were infected and the wildlife centre has had to have DEFRA in and cull their birds

Bird flu is still with us and more confirmed cases in April of this year.
There are still requests by DEFRA to keep high biosecurity measure in place.
Avian influenza (bird flu) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
There are currently 96 cases of avian influenza H5N1 in England.
There were also 2 cases of avian influenza in Wales where a small area of the disease control zones extended into England. In addition there were 2 cases of avian influenza in Scotland where a small area of the surveillance zone surrounding each case extended into England.
Licenses are still required for any movement of birdies so be aware of that one.
