Avian Flu Detected in Seabirds Again

Avian flu H5N1 hits again—this time a migratory seabird in Western Australia, marking the fourth confirmed case. Thankfully, it’s still confined to wandering birds, with no spread to chickens, wildlife, or humans. Officials report three prior cases across WA and SA, now adding another giant petrel on WA’s southern coast. A suspect bird near Esperance is under review, but nearby birds tested clean. No poultry farms affected, no mass die-offs, and human risk remains low. Ground patrols and drones are on high alert. Plus, Papua New Guinea has lifted its temporary ban on Australian poultry products. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
