Win a Chance to Meet The Mother KāKā or The Chicks in Their Special Nest [Wellington]

Question one: What would you name the mother and why?
Question two: What date do you think the first kākā chick will leave the nest?

You'll be in to win a chance to meet the mother kākā or the chicks in their special nest with Ranger Matt. Both visits will be held in a secret Wellington location.

Since being reintroduced to Zealandia kākā have spread throughout the city. They don’t fare well outside the sanctuary, however, due to a lack of mature trees with cavities and predators like stoats and rats.

Working with our Urban Ecology team, DOC Rangers set up six large “pest-proof” nest boxes in reserves from Karori to Tawa. These are monitored by volunteer guardians. The boxes were built by Menzshed Kapiti and supported by Hynds, who provided low cost piping.
