Bird flu is finally in Australia. What does that mean for us?

Isla Cooper2026-06-21T01:34:30.000Z

ffs here we go another thing to panic about

Hayden Kelly2026-06-21T01:50:30.000Z

bloody hell, if our biosecurity can't stop this we're screwed. Already lost enough to myna birds and possums.

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T01:56:30.000Z

so if bird flu hits us, are my free range eggs gonna cost $20 a dozen?

Sky Murphy2026-06-21T02:02:30.000Z

wait wait wait... H5N1 has reached Oceania? Bro I just did a project on this for uni, it's genuinely scary if it jumps to mammals here. Kiwis and our pet cats are gonna be in trouble.

Sage Lawson2026-06-21T02:15:30.000Z

pretty sure we've got bigger problems but sure go off

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T02:47:30.000Z

reckon I'll have to start buying cage eggs again smh

Sage Lawson2026-06-21T02:21:30.000Z

Isla Cooper2026-06-21T02:43:30.000Z

Don't give them ideas 🙄

Isla Cooper2026-06-21T02:58:30.000Z

facts, they'll find a way to mess it up

Hayden Kelly2026-06-21T03:09:30.000Z

overreact? we don't even have enough vets to handle an outbreak. lol cope

Isla Cooper2026-06-21T02:50:30.000Z

what a load of shit, we're an island ffs, just lock down our borders properly

Sage Lawson2026-06-21T03:20:30.000Z

u wish. Will be lockdown 2.0 and panic buying toilet paper again.

Sky Murphy2026-06-21T03:07:30.000Z

island didn't stop covid mate, birds don't need a passport

Hayden Kelly2026-06-21T03:36:30.000Z

spent half my morning reading this and now I'm not gonna sleep tonight. Great.

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T03:56:30.000Z

At least it's not worse than what the Aussies are dealing with. But yeah, our native birds are gonna cop it bad. Kākāpō can't catch a break.

Sky Murphy2026-06-21T04:16:30.000Z

honestly though if it gets into our tuatara that'll be a national tragedy
