Bird Flu Alert in WA Seabirds

Bird flu alert in Western Australia as a fifth suspected case surfaces near Esperance, with another near Dunsborough—both still under investigation. Two confirmed cases in migratory seabirds and one in South Australia raise concerns, but officials reassure the public: no spread to local wildlife or poultry farms. A key moment: five giant petrels spotted at Roses Beach, with only one testing suspected positive, the rest negative—a hopeful sign. Samples from the unusual seabird, typically found in subantarctic waters, are being analyzed by CSIRO. For now, no poultry infections or mass die-offs reported, but monitoring remains tight.
