## Resource

South Australia’s birdwatchers are now frontline defenders against bird flu, thanks to a new volunteer network trained to spot H5 strain symptoms in wild birds—and safely report them. Backed by state government, conservation groups, and bird organizations, the Bird Observers Network has already recruited 60+ volunteers across cities, coasts, and Kangaroo Island, turning local expertise into a powerful early-warning system. With five confirmed cases in seabirds, officials urge the public to avoid contact with sick or dead birds, instead documenting sightings and using the dedicated birdflu.sa.gov.au site or 24-hour hotline to report concerns—blending passion for birds with science to protect native wildlife.
