DEVASTATING EFFECTS: A healthy red-fronted parakeet provides sharp contrast to a bird severely affected by the beak and feather virus.Researchers at Auckland Zoo are trying to understand a virus that is affecting native parrots and spreading through the country.
Beak and feather disease was found in kakariki parrots in 2008 and this year has turned up in the South Island for the first time.
The virus seemed to be confined to introduced parrots until it appeared four years ago in the Hauraki Gulf.
In January, it appeared in Fiordland in a second species of kakariki, which is also known as the New Zealand parakeet.
