Rijkswaterstaat is now busy fishing the birds out of the water. Staatsbosbeheer and Natuurmonumenten have also found many dead birds in nature reserves around the lakes. Because bird flu is highly contagious, the animals are collected using a special protocol. In this way, the spread of the disease should be prevented as much as possible. Anyone who sees a dead bird is therefore strongly advised not to touch the animal. Instead, you must report it to the area manager.
