South Australia’s bird flu outbreak is escalating, with over a thousand dead greater crested terns found in mass die-offs across Troubridge and Pages Islands — the largest such event since June. Officials are now investigating a potential case in a little penguin on Kangaroo Island and 28 dead penguins on King Island in Tasmania, where tests are underway. Thankfully, no mammal or livestock infections have been reported yet, offering some relief to farmers. Aerial surveillance continues, and while wild bird vaccination isn’t feasible, targeted shots for vulnerable native species may be considered if proven safe. Test results from Tasmania are expected this week as teams race to contain the spread and prevent further wildlife casualties.
