Hmm. Dunno about Qld but here in SA (& WA) we have had multiple bird deaths from H5N1 bird flu & are being advised not to handle any dead wildlife but call relevant authorities (who can do pathology re cause of death). Maybe doesn’t affect your area yet so just to be aware. We’re (SA & WA) up to 14 confirmed bird flu deaths so far. -

Scavenger animals are the missing link in Australia’s bird flu response. Three experts explain
"There are currently five confirmed or suspected cases of the H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b strain in Western Australia, alongside one in South Australia and one in New South Wales."
"We want to protect our native scavengers, while limiting the harm introduced scavengers may do to our ecosystems. Our bird flu response must prioritise the health and management of scavenger animals. Only then can we protect our animals, ecosystems and communities from a wider H5N1 outbreak." >>

Hopefully this is a false alarm. I can imagine how intense it must be for giant petrels to ride out storms over the open ocean.

Trump didn't reduce egg prices - NY State AG James did!
Why did egg prices spike between 2022 and March 2025?
https://youtube.com/shorts/T7nyZGxtQ00?feature=share
An investigation found that from approximately June 2022 to March 2025, egg producers conspired to inflate egg prices under the guise of #birdflu by making fake auction bids on egg orders!
The egg producers coordinated their bidding activity & influenced the daily egg price quotes published by Urner Barry.
In December 2022, Hickman’s CEO emailed Versova and Cal-Maine executives urging them to submit “strong bids, early and often” to push prices higher.
By financing the campaigns of deregulatory federal GOP Rep. Randy Feenstra and local state advocate Timothy Dunn, these executives ensured that state and federal regulatory bodies remained cooperative, even in the face of ongoing environmental and labor controversies.
