South Australia Bird Flu Update | Adelaide News

South Australia confirms second H5 bird flu case in a giant petrel at Hardwicke Bay, with two more suspect cases under review — but no poultry or other wild birds affected yet. In response, officials launched the state’s largest coastal wildlife survey in 40 years, using helicopters, drones, and ground teams to monitor seabirds and seals. The results? Mostly reassuring — no widespread signs of illness or death found across hundreds of sites, including key habitats for endangered Australian sea lions. While the situation remains watchful, the survey provides vital baseline data and reinforces Australia’s preparedness. Public vigilance is still key: report any sick or dead wildlife, but don’t touch it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
