Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Safari Park are rolling up their sleeves to vaccinate high-risk birds against the deadly H5 bird flu, as over a thousand wild seabirds have already perished along South Australia’s coast. Working with government agencies and vets, they’re targeting species most vulnerable to infection — balancing conservation needs with practical vaccination logistics. With rare, multi-zoo managed birds at stake, coordination is key to avoid disrupting breeding programs. Vaccination isn’t a silver bullet — strict biosecurity remains vital — but it’s a crucial shield against this spreading threat. If you spot sick or dead birds, report it immediately to protect both wildlife and public health.
