## Resource

Seven new suspected bird flu cases have emerged in South Australia, all in greater crested terns along the Limestone Coast — raising alarms that the virus may be spreading locally among wild birds. With two confirmed cases already, including one in Adelaide, the total could hit fourteen if confirmed, ten of them local terns. Experts fear this signals active transmission within Australia’s bird populations, especially as spring breeding season brings birds together in dense colonies. While no poultry or human cases have been reported, officials urge swift reporting of sick or dead birds and warn against contact. Scientists are racing to confirm whether these are new local outbreaks, with endangered fairy terns nearby adding urgency. This outbreak underscores how quickly wildlife diseases can escalate — and why constant vigilance is critical. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
