Zoos Battle Bird Flu with New Protocols | Perth News
Description
Zoos across Australia are rolling out pandemic-style biosecurity measures to protect animals from a deadly new bird flu strain, with Perth Zoo installing barriers and hand sanitiser stations, and Adelaide Zoo shutting down aviaries and penguin encounters. Wild birds are the main concern, especially near water features and gardens, prompting strict visitor rules — like Taronga Zoo’s new bird admission protocols — and urging the public not to bring sick birds. Despite these precautions, zoos remain open to keep the public experience intact, especially during busy school holidays.
