The Call of the Kokako - Maria Gill
The Call of the Kokako - Maria Gill
New Holland Publishers (NZ) Limited, 2011. Hardback, 32 pages. Excellent condition
A picture gift book produced as a handsome hardback edition with evocative illustrations by talented artist Heather Arnold using watercolour, pen and ink, pencil and acrylic.
Described as 'grey ghosts' because they are seldom seen in New Zealand forests, kokako are known for their incredible song.
This book delves into their world - one preyed upon by predators in a shrinking habitat. It tells the remarkable story of how the kokako, New Zealand's last remaining species of wattlebird, is being saved.
A second part of the book tells a special story - this is the successful quest of one conservationist to save 10 kokako from a forest about to be felled.
