Ninety kākāpō, including new chicks, to be vaccinated against bird flu
The Department of Conservation in New Zealand is vaccinating endangered bird species, including the kākāpō, against bird flu. This proactive measure aims to protect vulnerable populations on Whenua Hou/Codfish Island before the virus spreads further.
