Adopt a farm.
The National Zoo has moved its chickens and ducks temporarily from the Kids' Farm exhibit to the Zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Virginia. The birds were moved because of a potential threat of contracting highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) should it enter the United States.
Although HPAI has had health implications for poultry and people in other parts of the world, HPAI has not been found in the United States. The Zoo moved the chickens and ducks to reduce any potential risk to people and animals and to keep visitors comfortable as they visit the Kids' Farm at the National Zoo. Also, the chickens and ducks were moved because the Zoo may not be able to move these birds later due to regulatory or permitting issues, if HPAI enters the United States.
