A kea injured by a lead bullet in Ligar Bay earlier this year is responding well to treatment four months after it was found limping by a Kea Conservation Trust worker. The young male bird was discovered in February within the Golden Bay area before being caught, flown to Wellington by Golden Bay Air and driven by a Department of Conservation (DOC) staffer to Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University’s Wildbase Hospital in Manawatū.

A conservation group says it is “devastated” after hundreds of protected seabirds were killed by a fishing trawler off the Southland coast.
