Toronto Zoo closes aviaries after bird flu detected in southern Ontario

The zoo made the announcement in a series of tweets on Monday, saying it is “committed to the health and safety of the animals in our care.”

The Toronto Zoo said it is taking “proactive steps” to protect its birds from the avian influenza that has been “confirmed in a wild bird in southern Ontario.”“By limiting access to the aviaries to only Zoo staff, we protect them from any contamination that may come from outside of the Zoo,” the zoo wrote in a tweet.
