The Sedgwick County Zoo is making changes due to the possible threat of bird flu.

The Zoo is closing their Tropics building temporarily and have stopped the penguin encounters to keep the animals from getting exposed.

The zoo said Monday that a positive case of Avian Influenza has been identified in Sedgwick County.  While it doesn't pose a high risk to human health, it does put many Zoo animals at risk.
