Title: Bird flu. Know what to do.
H5 bird flu has been detected in Western Australia. While the risk to human health is low, the WA Government is encouraging Western Australians to learn what they can do to help reduce its impact.
H5 bird flu can pose a threat to pets and backyard poultry. By keeping them away from wild birds, you can help reduce their risk of infection. Simple steps include bringing food and water bowls indoors, keeping dogs on a lead when outdoors, and using netting to prevent wild birds from accessing backyard chicken coops.
The WA Government has increased monitoring of wild birds and at-risk mammals and is investigating reports of sick or dead animals.
You can do your part by avoiding contact with wild birds, recording sightings of sick or dead birds, and reporting it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
