Lorikeet Paralysis Part 2 - Professor David Phalen

Rainbow lorikeets in North-east NSW and southern QLD are experiencing what is being called Lorikeet Paralysis Syndrome, or LPS. The cause of LPS isn't known, but it's thought to be a toxin from ingesting a fruit or nectar from a flower. LPS is seasonal, with a higher occurrence between December and February. 

Following on from the previous episode, we catch up with Professor David Phalen from the University of Sydney, who is working on a study aimed at identifying the cause of LPS.
