This spring a Kaka (Nestor meridionalis) has been visiting Lake Okareka. If you live in the Summit, Branch and Ridge roads area you may will have heard the bird if not seen him.
We have been entertained by this noisy and comical bird that would spend time with the neighbours chickens and also seems to do an awful lot of things upside down.
Kaka are another of our endemic birds that is under threat. The female is very vulnerable when nesting and requires a predator-free environment for successful breeding.
