Two-mile protection zone in place
Avian flu has been confirmed at a commercial poultry farm near Teignmouth.
The Animal and Plant Health Agency's finding means all birds on the premises have to be culled
It is a particularly virulent form of the virus.
A 3km (1.9 mile) protection zone has been declared that forces anyone keeping poultry or other captive birds housed and a record of all people who enter or leave the property.
The restrictions also apply to a 10km (6.2 mile) surveillance zone.
Across England it is currently mandatory to keep ducks and geese separate from other birds and to keep a record of bird movements, deaths and eggs.
Farmers must also clean bird housing, equipment, vehicles and footwear and try and prevent contact between their flocks and wild birds and rodents.
It is extremely rare for bird flu to spread to humans.
