Vandalur Zoo closed for two days after avian influenza was confirmed in water birds

Vandalur Zoo shutting its gates for two days because bird flu turned up in its water birds is the kind of news that spreads fast. One report says the closure followed confirmation of avian influenza in the zoo's waterfowl, and the whole story rests on that single line.

So far only one outlet has carried it, and nobody else has added detail on which birds, how many, or when the closure starts. This one is still thin, even though the claim is specific enough to check quickly.

An official notice from the zoo or the forest department would settle it fast, so fans should wait for that before assuming the gates are shut.
