Synchronized seasonal excretion of multiple coronaviruses coincides with high rates of coinfection in immature bats - Nature Communications
Bats harbor diverse coronaviruses but temporal dynamics are less well studied. Here, the authors analyzed coronaviruses in Australian flying foxes over 3 years showing peak shedding and co-infections ...

We looked for coronavirus in noddies and terns in four islands of the Western Indian Ocean. None of the 1513 samples tested positive. Couldn't find a descent journal to publish this negative result, but the (very) short report is available here:
