Curragh's Wildlife Park will re-open this weekend with measures put in place to protect its birds from avian flu.

Some have been taken out of view while disinfected foot baths have been installed for visitors.

The park will open tomorrow but anyone who has handled infected birds is asked to stay away.

The park is home to about 20 different types of bird, all of which are currently healthy.

Park manager Kathleen Graham explained what visitors can expect:
