Bird flu is spreading wildly across Australia, infecting over 3,500 animals since mid-June — not just birds, but mammals too, including seals, dolphins, and foxes. The H5N1 strain, which jumped from Antarctica to mainland shores, is causing mass die-offs in iconic species like magpies, ravens, and seabirds.

Surveillance is now critical to stop the spread before it’s too late.
