"Viral TikTok star Emmanuel – an emu who gained a vast online following thanks
to videos shared by his owner at Knuckle Bump Farms in Florida – has reportedly
fallen sick with avian influenza.

Farm owner Taylor Blake wrote on Twitter that wild geese brought avian
influenza to the farm, with many birds having since died.

As a large outbreak sweeps poultry farms across the US and the UK, many people
are now asking: what exactly is avian influenza, and what do I need to know?"
