A wildlife rescue group is working with local authorities after Australia's third confirmed case of H5 bird flu was detected in a giant petrel south of Adelaide.
An egg farmer says she is increasing vigilance and keeping hens away from areas where migratory birds congregate.
SA authorities encourage members of the public to avoid contact, visually record and report dead birds to the animal disease hotline.
A volunteer-run wildlife organisation that rescued a bird which later tested positive to the deadly H5 bird flu says it did not expect to be "ground zero" for the first case in South Australia.
Bird flu has spread to two Australian states. Here’s how it could accelerate our extinction crisis
The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu has now been found in a second state, South Australia, after earlier being identified in Western Australia.
Authorities have confirmed three seabirds have died of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus. It is too early to know if H5N1 has spread beyond these animals to other wildlife or livestock in Australia. But it appears very much a matter of when, not if, this happens.
Globally, H5N1 has already devastated wildlife populations. In Australia, this deadly virus could greatly disrupt ecosystems and push our most threatened species even closer to extinction.
