How worried should we be about bird flu?

More than 112,000 birds have been culled in Northern Ireland due to avian flu in just over two weeks.

All poultry in Northern Ireland, from commercial to backyard and hobby flocks, are currently under a housing order meaning they must be kept indoors or otherwise separate from wild birds, and certain bird gatherings are banned.

The disease poses a huge risk to the local poultry sector, which is worth around £600 million a year to the local economy.
