So, we always keep an eye out,&#8221; Frampton said.<\/p>\n<p>She said the sickness affects the brain and that neurological issues have been noted in the past. Avian flu last broke out in Florida in 2022, when thousands of birds died.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They could not keep their head upright.

The cause remains unknown, though Sheehan speculated avian flu could be responsible.<\/p>\n<p>She said the swans\u2019 bodies are being stored so necropsies can be performed.<\/p>\n<p>Avian flu has been confirmed in poultry flocks in other parts of the country, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aphis.usda.gov\/livestock-poultry-disease\/avian\/avian-influenza\/hpai-detections\/commercial-backyard-flocks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">federal data<\/a> from the U.S. Department of Agriculture\u2019s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, which shows nearly 2,000 flocks have tested positive nationwide since 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Recent outbreaks were documented at poultry farms and backyard flocks in states including Arkansas, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/us-regions\/northeast\/new-york\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York<\/a>, affecting more than 128,000 birds combined.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/dead-birds-florida-beaches-have-experts-worried-about-avian-flu\">Source &#8211; https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/dead-birds-florida-beaches-have-experts-worried-about-avian-flu <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dead birds have been found along Florida\u2019s Space Coast in Central Florida, raising concerns about a possible avian flu outbreak.
