The Woodland Park Zoo has confirmed the first suspected case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza following the death of a red-breasted goose earlier this week. Preliminary test results from Thursday indicated the presence of the virus. The goose, part of a rare and threatened species, was found deceased in an off-exhibit area, according to the zoo. The zoo had already enacted several precautionary measures earlier this year due to rising HPAI cases in the region, including draining open-air bird pools and moving free-roaming peacocks indoors.

The walk-through aviaries will remain closed to the public. The Tropical Rainforest exhibit will stay open.
