South Australia is in the grip of a terrifying bird flu surge, with 80 sick and dead birds found near Cape Jaffa — the first confirmed local transmission between native species like greater crested terns. Citizen scientists, already shaken by algal bloom deaths, now face even more heart-wrenching scenes as the virus spreads among abundant coastal birds such as silver gulls. Experts warn this marks the “next phase” of the outbreak, with high risk of coast-wide devastation. While Australia has 54 confirmed cases — 40 in SA alone — no poultry or livestock have been infected yet. Authorities await critical test results from Baudin Rocks Island, but stress the country’s preparedness, especially after global H5N1 lessons shaped long-term industry planning.
