The ban, by the UAE ministry of environment and water, covers "all domestic and wild birds, including ornamental birds and their products", news agency WAM said.

The decision was taken as a precautionary measure following World Organisation for Animal Health reports on the emergence of bird flu cases in India, said UAE Environment Minister Mohammed Saeed Al Kindi.
