    Testing carried out by the Animal and Plant Health Agency has confirmed that two swans, found dead at Roath Park Lake, died of avian flu.

    Avian Flu has previously been confirmed in a bird that died at Cardiff Bay.

    The risk to public health is low as it is rare for the H5N1 strain of the flu to be passed on to humans, but as a precaution, please avoid contact with dead or sick birds.

    Please also avoid feeding wild birds in public places as this encourages them to gather, increasing the risk of transmission.

    If you touch any dead birds, droppings, feathers or other material that has touched a dead bird, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible.

    Sightings of dead birds can be reported to DEFRA/ APHA using their online reporting tool: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/report-dead-wild-birds  or by calling 03459 33 55 77.
