Hi Lisa. I just read your article on the kaka.. we live in a bushy area of Otatara..out of invercargill. (Next stop Antartica) and can see Rakiura Island. 2 weeks ago a male and female kaka arrived at our house.. came down and feed on the sugar water we leave out for tuis/bellbirds/wayeyes etc.. and the occasional Kereru will come down also.
We were so very excited to see the 2 kaka and our Otatara notice board was very busy when I put photos up. They flew down and sat on our heads. One popped onto my arm and pecked at my silver bracelets.. have a video of both…so cute
So they are still here. We presume they came over from RAKIURA Island as it is only about 30k away and there’s lots over there.
I found your notes when looking up about their nests as they are mating.also ha e photos of that.. !
.gosh they are big nests the project had made and put up. Be wonderful if they start to use them. I know
“our “two are sleeping in a tree behind our bedroom as I hear them quietly chatting just before dawn.
Just thought I would reply to your post . I hope they stay..cheers Sue
