Episode Details

Australia’s zoos are on high alert as a deadly new bird flu strain hits home — with Adelaide and Perth Zoos closing key exhibits and halting bird shows to protect animals. Extra barriers, sanitizer stations, and even potential roofed enclosures are being deployed, while staff and visitors may soon wear protective gear. Though changes are noticeable, zoos stress they’re still open and welcoming — especially during school holidays — and urge the public not to bring sick birds or touch any found in the wild. Authorities remind everyone to call the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline if they spot a sick or dead bird — because this global threat is now here, and vigilance is critical.
