Report your kākā sightings in the Great Waiheke Kākā Count!
Seen an increase in kākā hooning around the island? You're not the only one!
Kākā are a key indicator species for stoat abundance, given stoats predate on kākā chicks and eggs, so as stoat numbers continue to drop on the motu, kākā numbers are soaring.
You are invited to participate in a citizen science initiative to help understand the abundance of these magnificent bush parrots on our island. Whenever you see or hear kākā this November, record your sightings here.
This initiative is jointly promoted with Native Bird Rescue and Forest & Bird - Hauraki Gulf Islands. Given this is the second annual event kākā abundance comparisons with November 2021 will be very interesting - stay tuned!
