A pair of the world’s rarest parrots have been hatched at Chester Zoo in what could be a “pivotal moment” in saving the birds from extinction, conservationists say.

Described as “two of the most precious chicks on the planet”, the Mitchell’s lorikeets arrived safely into the world at the attraction on September 9 and 11.
