When the patient arrives, it can barely move its body.Sometimes it can't blink.Vibrant green wings falter as the parrot triesand failsto fly.A nurse props up the bird's limp, violet-blue head on a makeshift cushion and slides a bowl of nectar in front of its bright red beak.It is just one of dozens of rainbow lorikeets being treated for a mysterious paralyzing illness at this wildlife hospital in eastern Australia.
