oh great another thing to worry about. First COVID now this. Good luck to the birds I guess

nah mate keep the dog away those things can spread to mammals. Better safe than sorry

Was walking my dog along the beach this morning (well afternoon now). Might keep him on the leash for a bit. Better safe than sorry

ffs Hoggard? The guy couldn't find his own arse with both hands what's he gonna do about bird flu? 😡

this govt they'll probably ban something random like owning a cat instead of actually helping

Work at the port, seen heaps of dead sea birds floating the past week. was wondering what was up. Guess this explains it

nuggets come from chickens not seabirds but I'd still worry about supply chains tbh

Lecturer mentioned this might happen a few months ago. Predicted it would arrive with migrating birds. Wild that it's actually here now

Jordan Bell2026-07-15T06:23:55.000Z

yeah but will they tell us the truth or just the normal 'nothing to see here' line

tbh the response seems slow again. One sick bird found and they test it, but how many others are out there sick? typical
