Authorities are investigating the deaths of more than 100 native parrots discovered in a regional Victorian town after wildlife workers alerted it to a possible poisoning event.

Kirsty Ramadan of the Bohollow Wildlife Shelter said she was called out to the Barmah in north-west Victoria to collect what she thought would be a few sick birds. She was confronted with 106 corellas.
