Could be a concern

Just catching up on this thread and was about to suggest that Fish and Game and MPI would be very concerned about any reports of mass bird deaths at the moment

I buy poultry out of Australia and exports to our main markets have just been banned last week due to an outbreak of bird flu in Victoria

They have a level of confidence that these outbreaks could be linked to migrating birds from Antarctica, where there are reported mass deaths from bird flu currently

Not a lot stopping it reaching our shores if it can get to Aus
