Summary
A serious bird flu outbreak linked to the deadly H5 strain has been detected in Western Australia — the first time this variant has appeared in the country. Spreading through wild birds and affecting everything from seals to pets, this virus has caused mass poultry deaths and human infections overseas. While it hasn’t jumped between people yet, authorities are urging immediate reporting of any sick or dead animals — especially if they show unusual behavior — to help contain the threat before it spreads.
