Hundreds of Canada geese died in southern Manitoba due to H5N1 avian flu, linked to delayed migration and cold weather.
Hundreds of Canada geese have died in southern Manitoba, with carcasses found near communities along the Red River and in areas like Winnipeg and Portage la Prairie.
The deaths are linked to the H5N1 avian influenza virus, which has tested positive in 54 of 726 birds examined.
While the virus poses a low risk to humans, a case of domestic transmission was confirmed in November 2024.
Experts believe delayed migration due to warmer autumn temperatures increased bird density, aiding virus spread.
Cold weather and food scarcity likely contributed to the deaths.
Necropsies are underway to determine exact causes, as the scale of mortality remains unusual.
