Why are we seeing more terns affected by H5 bird flu? 🪽

H5 bird flu is affecting large numbers of terns along parts of Victoria's coastline, and they have also showed up in inland areas recently too.

Terns are highly social seabirds that gather in large breeding and roosting colonies.

When a disease like H5 bird flu enters a colony, it can spread more easily between birds that are living and feeding close together.

Terns also migrate and move across large distances, including along Australia's coastline and between countries, which can increase their exposure to the virus.

While H5 bird flu can affect many bird species, some species are more vulnerable because of their behaviour, habitat and the way they gather in large groups.

If you see sick or dead birds, please avoid contact, keep pets away and report what you see to Agriculture Victoria.
