Kākāriki (Red-Crowned Parakeet)

Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae

Fun Facts:

Almost extinct on the main islands, they are thriving on Stewart Island and the Auckland Islands.

They were a common species in the 1800’s and were considered a pest towards crops, orchards and gardens. Sadly their numbers have declined since due to introduced mammalian predators and forest clearing.
