## Resource

Bird flu hits New Zealand—two confirmed cases, but don’t panic. Migratory birds carry the virus, and while it’s tough to stop, conservationists are vaccinating endangered native birds to protect them. The real threat? Commercial poultry farms—outbreaks could be devastating. Thankfully, human transmission is rare; the virus prefers birds. Stay alert, don’t touch sick or dead birds, and report them to authorities.
