A native hawk in the Wairarapa has been confirmed as the second case of bird flu in New Zealand.
The animal was sent to a wildlife hospital after suffering a head injury where the disease was found upon routine testing.
Minister of Biosecurity Andrew Hoggard told Heather du Plessis-Allan that they are working with farmers in the region.
"From an MPI perspective, we are touching base with all, I think there's about 13, egg producers or poultry producers in the Wairarapa. So, teams getting in contact with all of them just to check, are they confident in their biosecurity measures they've got?"
