  • DAERA Dead Wild Bird Online Reporting Tool

    Topics:
    • Animal Health, Welfare and Trade, 
    • Avian Influenza (AI)

    DAERA collects some dead wild birds for Avian Influenza (AI) surveillance purposes. This helps us understand if and when the virus is present in Northern Ireland, and when calculating which areas are most at risk.

    Before you start

    This Wild Bird Reporting tool covers Northern Ireland only. To report a dead wild bird in mainland UK please use the Report dead wild birds service on GOV.UK.

    Spotted a dead wild bird? Use the 'DAERA Dead Wild Bird Online Reporting Tool' if you find dead gulls, waders, ducks, geese or swans. *Do not pick up or touch sick, dying or dead wild birds. Avoid contact with bird faeces.

    Please use this service to report any dead wild birds you may find.
