Metro Richmond Zoo reports first case of H5 bird flu in its history, with two cranes affected.
Two cranes at the Metro Richmond Zoo have tested positive for H5 bird flu, marking the zoo's first cases in its 30-year history. One crane has been confirmed positive, and another is presumptively positive. The affected birds were not in public areas, and the zoo remains open, though the budgie exhibit and walk-through bird aviary are closed as a precaution. Authorities emphasize the low risk to public health from the virus.
