Just watching the news about Australia being the last continent to record the H5 bird flu virus and now there has been a confirmed case... Bummer but i guess it was inevitable. It impacts birds and marine mammals like seals and sea lions.

We can report crook birds or marine mammals to ​ Emergency Animal  Disease Hotline 1800 675 888. Early detection might help manage the spread of the virus.

Worth bearing in mind since a lot of us travel remote coastal areas.

In tassie we are always coming across albatross, petrels, sea eagles, seals etc and its sucks seeing them threatened.
