Three ducks at the Queens Zoo have died of bird flu and 12 other birds that died at the Bronx Zoo may have come into contact with the virus, according to the Wildlife Conservation Society.

The WCS said Saturday lab tests are pending on nine wild birds and three collection ducks at the Bronx Zoo.

“We have assessed and reviewed our protocols regarding risk to our birds from avian influenza. We implemented steps at our four zoos and aquarium to limit exposure of our animals to wild birds, mainly species of waterfowl, known to be significant carriers of avian influenza,” a WCS spokesperson said in a statement.

The WCS says vulnerable bird species were moved to protected areas in the park over the past two weeks, with veterinarians closely monitoring the situation in collaboration with government officials.

The report of the deaths comes a day after Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered live bird markets across the city, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties to temporarily shut down after inspectors detected seven cases of bird flu in poultry during routine checks.

Hochul said cases were identified at live bird markets in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens within the past week.

The WCS says their parks will remain open as “there is little risk of humans having contact with birds in our parks or contracting the current strains of bird flu.”
