Kaka
Photo by Vandy Pollard
Kaka at one of the nectar feeding stations at Zealandia Ecosanctuary. They are endemic to New Zealand and the population estimated at fewer than 10,000 - Nationally vulnerable. They are Forest birds that obtain all their food from trees, consuming seeds, fruit, nectar, sap, and tree dwelling, especially wood-boring invertebrates. Forest clearing has destroyed all but a fraction of the Kaka’s former habitat but they are commonly seen in the Wellington green belt, following reintroduction to Zealandia.
