Kākā

Conservation status
In some trouble

Friends who squawk together, stay together. Kākā are the gossip champions of the forest as they often form in large chattery congregations. Thanks to the work of one inner-city sanctuary (you know who you are), kākā numbers are on the up in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington. They might be keen on your lunch but avoid sharing bread and crackers with them. The best way to support kākā is to plant a native tree so they can feast on the tree sap and nectar.

We are a group of teachers and students from Nelson College at the top of the South Island, back again to campaign hard for the lord of the forest.  We’re joined by our mascot Imp the kākā!
