Summary
A northern giant petrel found near Noosa on Australia’s Sunshine Coast has been quarantined after potential exposure to bird flu H5N1 — possibly the northernmost case in the country. The twins from Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue are caring for the bird with extreme caution, wearing full PPE and isolating it to prevent spread to other animals. H5N1 has already been detected in other Australian states, including South Australia where it was found in a native seabird — a first for that region. Test results are expected later this week. Authorities urge the public to avoid contact with sick or dead wildlife and report concerns immediately. While the federal government confirms no poultry or livestock cases and low human risk, vigilance remains key. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
