South Australia Mobilizes Birdwatchers Against H5 Flu | Adelaide News

South Australia’s bird flu response just got a major boost—over 60 trained birdwatchers are now on the ground, scanning coastlines, wetlands, and even city parks for signs of H5 virus in wild birds. This new Bird Observers Network, a joint effort between government and conservation groups, taps into local expertise with official training, covering everything from the Fleurieu Peninsula to Adelaide. Volunteers are armed to spot, record, and report any affected birds—so far, five confirmed cases in seabirds. Officials urge the public to report sightings without touching sick or dead birds, and a dedicated website offers safety info. More training and community forums are coming up—your birdwatching skills could be vital in stopping this outbreak.
