2022/2023/2024 HPAI Outbreak
Since March 2022, the Colorado Department of Agriculture has led a response to the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).
HPAI continues to pose a threat to Colorado's domestic birds. Bird owners should maintain biosecurity measures such as keeping their flocks away from wild birds and not touching any dead wild birds.
Domestic bird owners should take extra precautions to avoid introducing the HPAI virus to their flocks, including:
- preventing interaction between domestic and wild birds,
- keeping food and water sources away from migrating birds,
- and monitoring flocks for signs of illness or death.
