The New Zealand Kaka, also known as Kākā, (Nestor meridionalis) is a New Zealand parrot endemic to the native forests of New Zealand.
Te Anau Wildlife Centre cares for some of the rarest birds on the plant. They are beautiful, variegated, funny, smart, noisy, sweet, and totally enchanting to be around.
This centre is run by New Zealand's Department of Conservation, and houses native birds which are rare, endangered, injured or needing special care. It takes the form of aviaries and enclosures scattered among parklands on the edge of Lake Te Anau, about a kilometre from the town of Te Anau in the south island. Beneficiaries of this scenic sanctuary include the kereru (native pigeon), pukeko (blue flamingo), tui, kea, kakariki, kaka, takahe, and weka.
Although it can be reached by car, a more pleasant way to get there (weather permitting) is by following the path along the edge of the lake - about 15 minutes walk from the town's visitor centre is all it takes. You can get quite close to some of them, and information panels tell you something about what you're looking at.
Rare Footage : Takahē Feeding Young : Thought to be extinct : A living dinosaur
Originally thought to be extinct, still only three hundred left in the world! ... This is a unique video of the Takahē feeding its young ... Special thanks to the dedicated people who work passionately to protect and preserve this very rare and endangered bird.
The South Island Takahē is a rare relic of the flightless, vegetarian bird fauna which once ranged New Zealand. Four specimens were collected from Fiordland between 1849 and 1898, after which Takahē were considered to be extinct until famously rediscovered in the Murchison Mountains, west of Lake Te Anau, in 1948.
Until the 1980s, Takahē were confined in the wild to the Murchison Mountains. They have since been trans located to seven islands and several mainland sites, making them more accessible to many New Zealanders. Conservation work by the Department Of Conservation and community groups aims to prevent extinction and restore Takahē to sites throughout their original range.
The Punanga Manu o Te Anau/Te Anau Bird Sanctuary is set on the shores of Lake Te Anau. The Takahē are the stars of the Bird Sanctuary and meeting these prehistoric-looking characters are a must. Donations are welcome to help conserve New Zealand nature for our future generations.
