Accomodation wanted
The Finnish government has not instituted an immediate ban on outdoor poultry, but has decided to move up a deadline for the implementation of bird flu prevention measures following confirmed cases of the virus on the Baltic Sea.
The original plan called for poultry to be kept indoors during the main spring migration period, from mid-March to the end of May. A Ministry working group now says that this will be a requirement at the beginning of March.
If you have a spare room, then please notify your nearest official and you can keep a turkey, goose or chicken from roaming the streets of Finland.
nb. Please don’t furnish beds with feather pillows.
