Orange-bellied Parrots. More than 40 dead reporeted

[Ian May <>]

While watching ABC Stateline Tasmania on Friday nigjht it was reported 
that more than 40 captive bred orange bellied parrot nestlings died last 
summer (see  http://www.abc.net.au/stateline/tas/ ) and it surprised me 
that such disastrous news has not been in the public arena before 
this.   While not intending to point any fingers about this, a thorough 
independent investigation would be almost impossible to complete at this 
point in time and we can only hope that all personnel and aviculture 
practices used in this captive breeding program are the best available.
