Currraghs' birds back!

Curraghs Wildlife Park is moving all of its birds back to their enclosures. 

It comes following the first outbreak of avian flu detected on Island, in which the park kept some of their bird species out of view to keep them protected.

After keeping their pelicans and storks in lockdown for nearly two months, the park has decided to let them out as the risk of the disease has decreased. 

The park has described it as a 'difficult call' as there are still cases of Avian influenza in the UK, but the Isle of Man has been clear of any detected cases for weeks now.

They've also confirmed the scaffolding is being removed from around the penguins today - as the birds are in breeding season.
