NO BIRDS IN CLINIC ‼️‼️
🐦 Important Bird Flu (H5N1) Update 🐦
With cases of avian influenza (bird flu) continuing to be monitored, we’d like to remind our community to help keep people, pets and wildlife safe.
If you find a sick, injured or deceased wild bird:
❌ Do not touch or handle it.
👧 Keep children and pets well away from the bird.
📍 If you notice multiple sick or dead birds in one area, record the location and report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
🐦 Pet bird owners:
Keep birds indoors where possible and prevent contact with wild birds. If your bird is unwell (showing signs such as fluffed feathers, lethargy, breathing changes, diarrhoea or weakness), please call the clinic first for advice before bringing them in.
⚠️ Please do not bring wild birds directly into the clinic. If you have concerns about an injured wild bird or a sick pet bird, contact us by phone so we can guide you on the safest next steps while following appropriate biosecurity measures.
Thank you for helping protect our community, our pets and our local wildlife. 💙
