## Resource

Bird flu H5N1 is spreading fast across Australia, hitting wild bird populations hard — unlike the previous H7 strain that mainly targeted farms. With outbreaks confirmed in WA, NSW, and SA, wildlife groups are sounding the alarm, urging citizens to report any sick or dead animals. In Victoria, a high-tech helicopter patrols coastlines daily, scanning for signs of illness using infrared tech, while local bird watchers like Mike Risk in Portland monitor colonies hoping for natural immunity. Officials stress early detection is critical — and everyone’s role matters — so report any wildlife concerns to the state’s environmental department now.
