Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) Causes Duck Mortalities in Austin Area
Jan. 9, 2025
Media Contact: TPWD News, Business Hours, 512-389-8030
Excerpts -
AUSTIN — Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) has been confirmed by preliminary test results in multiple domestic ducks recovered at the pond on the NE corner of the Arboretum Blvd and 360 Capital of Texas Highway intersection in northwest Austin.
The public can assist in interrupting HPAI transmission by limiting all unnecessary contact with wild birds, including not feeding or causing waterfowl to congregate in parks. To help combat this outbreak, it is recommended that all bird feeders and bird baths be taken down as these allow birds to congregate and spread disease easily to each other. Do not handle any sick or dead wildlife or allow any pets to consume any wild carcasses.
If you encounter a wild animal with signs consistent with HPAI, contact your local TPWD wildlife biologist.
Please see - https://tpwd.texas.gov/newsmedia/releases/?req=20250109a for the full article.
According to a KVUE news report some of the ducks have been dying due to the Avian Flu. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/austin-arboretum-shopping-center-ducks-dying-avian-flu/269-429bc1e2-8f25-4cf5-bef1-9b662f8ecc72
While no tests have been conducted yet at Lindshire Park and HPAI has not been detected in the duck population please be cautious and follow the guidelines issued by TPWD (see TPWD article above) while at the park.
Thank You.
