Bird Flu Hits NZ Wildlife Sanctuaries | Wellington News
Bird flu has hit New Zealand — a migratory skua near Wellington was the first confirmed case. Conservationists, already preparing for this, are now vaccinating endangered birds like kākāpō and takahē. At Zealandia, they’ve stopped feeding kākā to reduce flu spread risk, while boosting hygiene for other species. Sanctuaries like Maungatautari are coordinating with DOC and local farms to vaccinate birds and share critical updates — a proactive, community-driven effort to protect these rare avian treasures.
