Avian malaria suspected cause of kiwikiu deaths

https://www.mauinews.com/news/local-news/2019/11/avian-malaria-suspected-cause-of-kiwikiu-deaths/


The critically endangered kiwikiu, or Maui parrotbill, is pictured. In October, 13 kiwikiu were transported to the leeward slopes of Haleakala in hopes that they would mate and help boost the species. Nine of them have died, possibly from avian malaria, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said Tuesday. National Park Service photos
