Puffin Outbreak at Zoo | Seattle News

Puffins at Point Defiance Zoo are under quarantine after one tested positive for avian psittacosis — a bacterial infection — with more likely to follow. The exhibit is closed until vets and public health officials give the all-clear, and remaining puffins are on antibiotics while staff wear extra protective gear. Visitors who were there recently should watch for flu-like symptoms and see a doctor if they appear — though no human cases have been confirmed yet.
