South Australia tests dead birds for H5N1 bird flu
South Australia has discovered two dead seabirds on a remote beach at Fallis Bay, which are being tested for the highly contagious H5N1 bird flu strain. Authorities are concerned about potential spread to the poultry and dairy industries, which could impact supermarket prices. The discovery follows similar cases in Western Australia, where chicken coops have already been shut down as a precautionary measure.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
