A warning has been issued to people visiting The Kelpies after a Bird Flu outbreak was confirmed.
The Helix park in Falkirk and Grangemouth has today, Tuesday, January 11, asked visitors to stay away from birds when visiting and announced that there will be no tours of The Kelpies over the next four days.
In a post on social media the park urges people not to touch or feed birds and to keep dogs away from them too.
The Helix has a variety of species with ducks and swans believed to be among those on site.
Bird flu is an infectious type of avian influenza that spreads among birds. In rare cases, it can affect humans.
Renfrewshire Council also confirmed on Saturday a case of avian flu had been in a wild bird at Castle Semple Loch in Lochwinnoch.
The Helix issued visitors advice on their website.
They said: “Avian Flu confirmed – Please stay away from all birds during your visit.
“Monday 10th to Friday 14th of February: There will be no Kelpies Tours due to scheduled maintenance. The Visitor Centre will be open from 9am-4pm. “
Falkirk Council has been approached for comment.
