Health and safety is always the National Aviary’s top priority. We are aware of the recent spread of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in the US, and are carefully monitoring emerging information. Most of the National Aviary’s birds already live in indoor habitats. Those habitats that are outdoors are specifically designed to prevent exposure to wildlife that could be carriers. National Aviary birds are in good health, and are monitored daily by avian care professionals. As of today, March 31, no cases have been reported in Allegheny County. According to the CDC, this strain of avian flu has not been detected in humans in the United States.
