## Resource

A seabird washed up on a remote Australian beach, sparking alarm as experts suspect it may be the first case of deadly H5 bird flu in the country. Found struggling and rushed to a wildlife hospital, the skua was quickly quarantined — and died days later. Its death triggered a national emergency response as authorities race to confirm the strain before the virus could spread. With millions of birds and sea creatures potentially at risk, this tiny bird may have just set off a major outbreak. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
