Care should be taken to ensure that neonates in the nursery are not exposed to any other birds, be they pets, adult breeders or sick birds from the isolation area. Other animals should be strictly forbidden from entering the nursery. Human traffic should also be minimized. Isolation Isolation is an important area in the aviary, and is where sick birds that are already part of the aviary collection are hospitalized. It must be a completely separate area from the quarantine area.
Some people get confused about the difference between isolation and quarantine.
Quarantine is for newly acquired birds, isolation is for ill birds that are already part of the breeding flock. Birds from the established breeding flock should never be placed in the quarantine area because of the increased risk of disease transmission from quarantine birds. Adult breeder birds or sick neonates from the nursery should be hospitalized and treated in the isolation area. The last area in the aviary is the storage area. This is the area within the facility where food and supplies are stored.
