Royal Adelaide Show cancels bird exhibits amid flu outbreak

The Royal Adelaide Show has cancelled all bird exhibits and competitions for the first time in its 150-year history due to the rapidly spreading bird flu outbreak. Around 180 exhibitors are affected by the decision, with entry numbers already down 20% as breeders avoided the risk. South Australia has confirmed 32 new bird flu cases, bringing the state's total to 119, with authorities warning H5 detections in the poultry industry are inevitable.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
