Austria - Vienna zoo culls 20 pelicans after H5N8 bird flu virus found
Vienna zoo culls 20 pelicans after bird flu virus found
An Austrian zoo culled 20 pelicans on Friday after it found the entire group was infected with the highly contagious H5N8 bird flu virus, the zoo said.
Vienna's Schoenbrunn Zoo tested its pelican flock, one of the largest of any zoo worldwide, after the virus was found in one pelican earlier this week.
...
The zoo's Dalmatian pelicans had been kept in a tent since December as a preventive measure but one of them became acutely ill on Monday and was killed.
"To protect the remaining bird stock we had to put down all pelicans this morning," zoo veterinarian Thomas Voracek said.
The bird house, the rainforest house and the desert house at the zoo will remain closed to the public.
