Kakapo grounded by mystery illness
Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 23:01 
OUT FOR THE COUNT: Ten-year-old Rakiura will have to stay at Auckland Zoo until a new release date is set. A mystery illness has kept a kakapo grounded and prevented her from being released along with fellow parrots on pest-free Little Barrier Island.
Ten-year-old Rakiura was meant to be freed with seven other kakapo on Saturday, but a disease, which has caused lesions on the bird's backside, mean it will remain at the Auckland Zoo vet centre until a new release date is set.
The birds were released on Little Barrier, where they will remain for at least a decade, to see if they can survive without human help.
