What's in the news this week?

This week, the kea have been in the news because six dead kea birds probably died from 1080.

A Massey University post-mortem has found six kea in the Matukituki Valley of the Aspiring National Park which ''are likely'' to have died from 1080 toxin.  

The birds were among the 12 kea  monitored by the Kea Conservation Trust after the Department of Conservation's aerial 1080  predator control operation on February 11.

I got my info from nzherald.co.nz.

I think it is sad that 1080 is killing our native birds.  What do you think?
