The outbreak on Dec 10 was not reported to the Paris-based body until Wednesday, it said.
Iran reported that 14 birds were infected and that another 475 were destroyed, said the animal health organisation, also known as the OIE.
It is an inter-governmental body responsible for improving animal health worldwide.
The OIE has been at the forefront of global efforts to monitor and fight H5N1, which scientists have tracked because they fear it may mutate into a human flu virus that starts a pandemic.
The outbreak was in Mazandaran province on the Caspian Sea, the OIE said. <!-- show media links starting at 7th para -->It said investigations are under way to trace the source of the infection and its 'probable spread.'-- AP Read also India says bird flu outbreak spreading
