The Avian Influenza (Preventive Measures) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2007

Change of occupation of premises under restriction

15.—(1) This regulation applies if the keeper of any zoo bird, poultry or any other captive bird is unable to move it from premises on the termination of his right of occupation because of a movement restriction imposed under these Regulations and continues to apply for seven days after any such restriction has been removed.

(2) The person entitled to occupation of the premises following that termination must—

(a) provide such facilities for feeding, tending or otherwise using any zoo bird, poultry or any other captive bird (including selling it) as the keeper may reasonably require; and

(b) allow entry to the premises to that keeper and any person authorised by him at reasonable times for feeding, tending or otherwise using any zoo bird, poultry or any other captive bird.

(3) If the keeper is unable or unwilling to feed or tend any zoo bird, poultry or any other captive bird, the person entitled to occupation of the premises must take such steps as are necessary to ensure it is properly fed and tended.

(4) The keeper of any zoo bird, poultry or any other captive bird is liable to pay the reasonable costs incurred by any person feeding or tending it, or providing facilities for feeding, tending or otherwise using it.
