Summary
Bird flu is closer than you think — H5N1 has been spotted in New Zealand seabirds near Wellington, raising alarms for Auckland. While it mainly affects birds, rare human cases can occur through direct contact. Authorities, including Auckland Council and local iwi, are on high alert, preparing biosecurity plans since 2024. If you spot three or more sick or dead wild birds together, call the exotic pest hotline immediately — don’t touch them. Stay safe, stay informed.
