Experts are deeply concerned that native animals like koalas and kangaroos—never exposed to this virus—could be devastated. The flu has already killed over 13,000 elephant seal pups on remote islands, proving it’s no longer just a bird disease. If it jumps to resident bird populations, the outbreak could spiral out of control. Authorities are urgently monitoring suspected cases, including a giant petrel in Hawks Nest and another in Perth, with results pending. If confirmed, Australia could hit seven cases. If you spot a sick or dead bird, don’t touch it—report it immediately.
