Council possum trapping, Zealandia and people planting flax and kowhai are factors that helped their recovery.
Wellington Bird Rehabilitation Trust spokesperson Craig Shepherd said tūī and kererū numbers had skyrocketed in recent years.
The Johnsonville based trust is getting so many tūī it is struggling to cope. The trust wants to build two new aviaries for recovering tūī and it has set up a Givealittle page.

"I have a bit of history here at the SPCA. I originally came in as a shy kitten in 2015. I was adopted and this is what my foster family said about me. "Sophie was shy and hid a lot when she first came home with me. I put some food by her hiding spot and a little trail towards me and she came out and was affectionate. Until she feels safe she will hide. Sophie still - three months later - hides when other people come to the house, but is brave and affectionate with me. Sophie isn't really interested in toys and prefers to sleep in the sun or hang out with me. She will either snuggle into my leg on the sofa or on my lap. When she wants attention she will pat me with her paw. In the evening I would cradle her like a baby and sing to her and rub her belly, she loved it."
