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.
