South Australia confirms eighth bird flu case
South Australia confirms its eighth case of H5N1 bird flu in a seabird, with two additional giant petrels suspected of carrying the disease. A two-and-a-half day aerial surveillance operation has surveyed 30,000 birds and seals along the coastline and Lake Eyre, focusing on protecting endangered Kangaroo Island seal colonies including Australian sea lions and long-nosed fur seals. The operation represents the state's largest coastal surveillance effort in 40 years, as authorities work to prevent the deadly virus from spreading to chicken flocks and native mammals.See omnystudio.com/listener…
