Headline:  The Ster, 8/8/2026
Organisers of a major annual agricultural show in South Australia (SA) on Friday (Aug 7) canceled bird and poultry exhibitions at the upcoming event amid a surge of H5N1 bird flu cases. 
The Royal Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia said on Friday that bird and poultry exhibitions and competitions at the 2026 Royal Adelaide Show, which begins on Sept. 5, will not go ahead as a precaution. 
Will Rayner, chief executive of the society, told reporters that organizers received wide-ranging advice from authorities on how to reduce the avian influenza risk, but felt the show could not comply.
