Good news for threatened species
Well done the staff at the Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre. Five chicks that could only be called “ugly ducklings” represent a glimmer of hope for a species that has twice been declared extinct.
Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre, near Masterton, has successfully hand raised five kākāriki karaka (orange-fronted parakeets) after their parents were unable to raise them.
Successfully hand raising parakeets is considered extremely difficult because of the high risk of human imprinting, which results in the birds becoming reliant on humans for food.
