A further 11 birds have died at Hogganfield Park in Glasgow, home to a large population of swans.
On Wednesday, staff from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs removed three dead swans for testing.
Glasgow City Council said it was waiting for test results from birds previously removed by Defra, but in line with its advice it was assuming the swans had died from avian flu. Members of the public are being asked to help limit the spread by sticking to paths, keeping dogs on leads and avoid feeding birds as this encourages them to congregate.Scotland's chief vet has said strict rules to stop the spread of bird flu in England would not be replicated here.Sheila Voas said the evidence in Scotland did not currently justify a housing order but she said officials were "keeping the situation under review".
