Avian flu, which is commonly known as bird flu, is a type of influenza that spreads among the bird population.
There have been a ‘large number’ of outbreaks and incidents of avian influenza in birds in the UK.
Due to the outbreaks of the H5N1 strain, a significant number of birds have been culled in the UK in a bid to protect the avian population.
Similar outbreaks have also been reported across Asia and Europe between October and the end of December.
