The MSPCA is asking people not to take birds to Ard Jerkyll after the government discovered an outbreak of bird flu in the west of the Island.
Yesterday, a 3km restriction zone was declared around a site in Patrick after vets confirmed a case of H5N1 avian influenza.
The animal charity says if you find an injured or sick bird you should call it, Manx Wild Bird Aid or a vet for advice.
But it adds you shouldn't take birds to the sanctuary without calling first.
