Episode Details

Queensland may be facing its first bird flu case — the deadly H5N1 strain — after twin seabird rescuers Bridgette and Paula Powers found a sick Northern Giant Petrel in Noosa. Now in quarantine with vets in full gear, the bird’s test results from CSIRO are pending, but if confirmed, it would mark the northernmost case in Australia — raising alarms for wildlife and agriculture alike. Officials urge the public to avoid sick or dead animals and report any sightings, as this virus has already hit other states and caused global devastation among birds.
