This is by a racing pigeon keeper in the quarantine area in California. He's encouraging people to copy and share, and I got it from a falconry facebook group, and falconers are very touchy about unwarranted search and seizure as G&F has a habit of it for them in some states. I don't know if the 10 bird limit is a Cali thing or a Federal thing, maybe someone else knows? I've been searching the APHIS website and haven't found anything that supports it. If it's federal than it applies to us in AZ, too.

Protecting your birds.

It has come to my attention that Riverside, San Bernardino and Los Angeles are Mandatory Kill Zones for Commercial Chickens farms. Ten Chickens or more is considered a commercial farm. The Chickens in your area have a big impact on all of the other birds in that area. So the reason for this message is to educate everyone on how we can have an impact on trying to protect our birds and all of the other neighborhood birds in our area.
From what I'm reading clorox/bleach is NOT strong enough to kill this virus.

1) Go to the Magnolia Bird Farm and see how Frank has set up his biosecurity system. He is in the Quarantine area and still selling birds. They are closed Sunday and Monday but will be open tomorrow.
2) Go to the Dollar Store and buy a Cat Litter Box. Also purchase a 12"x12" piece of fake grass.
3) Go online to Amazon and purchase Virkom S. It's the product recommended by the State to be strong enough to kill the virus.
4) You take the cat litter box, and place the fake grass in it. You mix up some Virkom S solution and put it in the cat litter box. You have just made a Foot bath. You keep it by the entrance to your back yard. You also keep a beach towel out there. You can buy the beach towels from the Salvation Army at twenty-five cents each.
5) Every time anyone enters you back yard they have to wash their shoes and dry them. After using the towel, you throw it away. Do not try to wash it.
6) You also purchase a sprayer. You put the Virkom S solution in it. You keep it by the foot bath.
7) No one enters your property without using your biosecurity system-The Foot Bath going in and out.
8) No one is allowed in your cages or aviaries. They can look through the wire. No one handles your birds.
9) If you have chickens, you cut their numbers down to nine or less. At least that way you don't loss them all. After the quarantine is lifted then you can raise more.
10) Worst case scenario they show up at your door and want to euthanize all of your birds. They come with a warrant. Every warrant in small print on the bottom says that you have the right to appeal. You do not sign anything giving them the right to euthanize your birds. Don't sign your rights away.
11) Next you tell them that you'll let them on your property under theses conditions.
They can test one bird. It will be killed and they will open it up and look at it's liver. You have to watch. If the liver has grey spots, then it is positive for the New Castle Disease and they will euthanize all of your birds. If the liver is clean and normal, it is negative for the disease. Then tell them to leave and never come back. Those are your rules. Those are your rights.
12) When they leave you take your sprayer and spray all of their tires on their vehicle's tires. They also have to use the foot bath again. You insist and can't leave until they have done this and you sprayed their tires..
13) The reason this so important, is that your efforts at biosecurity and mine help protect all of the birds in our neighborhoods. I'm so sorry that I didn't post this earlier. But I just learned this information myself, yesterday.
14) Use this Biosecurity system as long as the quarantine is in force. And it always a good thing to do at all times.
15) Keep your cages ,Aviaries, and lofts clean. They're looking for green droppings, Twisted heads, Eye sores, and birds spinning in circles. Eliminate anything that is questionable.
16) Important point, Anyone who calls in with a report of sick birds will be giving a death sentence to all of the birds in that area. Sick Or Not. Work with me and lets help clean up a bad virus. But also help me protect all of the birds that are not sick and do not deserve to be killed.
