Fota Wildlife Park remains closed until at least after 12 avian flu cases led to euthanizing 73 birds.
Fota Wildlife Park in County Cork, Ireland, will remain closed until at least November 30 due to an avian influenza outbreak, following 12 confirmed cases and the humane euthanasia of 73 birds.
To prevent spread, 83 birds are isolated in temporary aviaries, vaccinated, and tested regularly, with current results negative.
The park, which houses endangered species, faces significant financial strain, losing about €120,000 weekly in operational costs and up to €320,000 monthly in revenue.
Officials are working with the Department of Agriculture on biosecurity measures, while a separate bird flu case on a small turkey farm in County Carlow prompted protection and surveillance zones.
Authorities confirm cooked poultry and eggs remain safe, and no food safety risks are expected.
