Endangered WA cockatoos first in line for bird flu vaccine

Perth Zoo has taken a pioneering step to safeguard endangered red-tailed and black cockatoos from bird flu by vaccinating them in a groundbreaking pilot program. This initiative aims to protect native wildlife from the deadly virus, offering a crucial defense against a threat that could further endanger already vulnerable species. The move underscores the importance of proactive measures to preserve biodiversity, especially in regions where wildlife is under constant threat from emerging diseases.
