This incredible footage shows some of the 600 Rainbow lorikeets (Trichoglossus moluccanus) being released back into the wild after surviving Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome (LPS) 🦜

The mysterious condition has afflicted hundreds of birds, causing them to lose balance and be unable to fly despite not showing any apparent injuries.⁠

Learn more about LPS, the hard work that saw our lorikeets recover, and the headway being made to uncover the cause: ausgeo.co/lps
