Jan. 29, 2008-Dates have now been set in Ontario, Nova Scotia and British Columbia for Bird Health Information Sessions by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
The CFIA is teaming up with provincial
governments to deliver the information sessions, aimed at helping small flock owners
prevent and detect disease in their birds.
Topics include preventing the introduction and spread of disease, spotting
the signs of illness in birds, and what to expect if a bird disease is detected
in your area. Information kiosks will be set up for various subjects, and
animal health experts will be on hand to answer questions throughout the
evening.
Three sessions are scheduled in February and March 2008 and more are planned
for later in the year in other regions across Canada. The sessions are open to
the general public. All small flock owners and bird enthusiasts are encouraged
to attend.
