Should visitors be concerned about visiting AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums?
There is little chance of visitors contracting avian flu from an affected zoo or aquarium animal because in most cases, visitors are separated from the birds by windows or by a safe distance. This prevents visitors from coming into direct contact with the birds or their bodily discharge (feces, saliva, and nasal discharges).
