Birds

If you find:

  • an isolated dead bird on your land it can be double bagged and put in general refuse
  • larger numbers of birds close together, you should contact the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) on 03459 33 55 77

You can report dead birds on public open space online. We'll remove them.
