"Kaka, were essentially extinct here in Wellington for over 100 years. Then in 2002 a small group was translocated to our fenced sanctuary Zealandia. Now Kaka fly freely around the CBD. There are approximately 1000 birds now, each with its own personality.
They now also breed outside of Zealandia, and are seen throughout the city. These clever parrots are such entertainers, and are a photographers dream.?
Due to horrific weather we have a last minute grape pick this Thursday 6 April - seeking pickers to work that day. Look forward to hearing from you! Toby 06 306 9933 or 021 126 6042
