Avian flu was detected in Gibson County after diagnostic testing was done on dead birds.
The Indiana Department of Natural Resources reports out of 10,000 snow geese in the area, 700 were found dead.
The DNR will increase surveillance on birds to prevent the disease from spreading.
Infected birds show signs of unusual behavior, tremors, twisted neck and lack of energy.
Officials at Mesker Park Zoo say they will keep their birds indoors a little longer to keep them safe.
