Toronto zoo has closed its walk-through aviary over concerns about highly-pathogenic avian influenza.
Zoo officials said the closure is “out of an abundance of caution to protect the birds.
There have been two outbreaks in commercial poultry flocks in Ontario this month, one at Chatham-Kent, the other in West Lincoln in the Niagara area.
The zoo staff are now required to use footbaths, footpads and an area dedicated to changing footwear at the entrance to buildings with birds.
