A wildlife conservation centre in Kent says it has been forced to shut its doors as a result of the “increasing threat” of bird flu.
Eagle Heights Wildlife Foundation in Eynsford, near Dartford, announced its “immediate closure” on social media on Tuesday following “urgent discussions with our veterinary team”.
The family-run organisation, known for its flying displays, is home to multiple species of birds of prey, along with farm animals, meerkats, African serval cats and other creatures.
The statement added that the move was “a preventative measure” to keep the centre’s birds healthy, but a reopening date has yet to be confirmed.
