In serious trouble

The current world leader at hide-and-seek, kōkā were last “officially” spotted in 1967 and subsequently declared extinct. In 2007, it was spotted again. Now, the race is on to prove it’s still out there – and to save it before it slips forever beyond the event horizon of extinction.

I love the kōkā South Island kōkako and I am trying to find it close to my hometown of Christchurch. It is a really cute bird and I love its song.
