What you need to know about H5 avian influenza (bird flu) - nature postcard
This postcard explains that H5 bird flu is a serious virus that mainly affects birds, but can also affect other animals and, in rare cases, people.
It asks people to keep their distance from sick or dead birds and other wildlife and not to touch or move them. If you find several dead birds or animals, avoid contact, note the location, date, and time, take a photo if you can, and report it to the Emergency Animal Disease Hotline on 1800 675 888.
