Orange Fronted Kakariki
The remaining populations of this native parakeet are found only within a 30km radius of the beech forest valleys in Canterbury: the Hawdon, Poulter and Hurunui. Their little-known status mirrors their tiny population, which is close to extinction. There are now fewer than 100 of these beautiful birds left in the wild.
These brave little locals face a multitude of challenges if they are to survive, but their greatest threat is predation from rodents. Nesting in tree holes, the orange-fronted kākāriki are easy targets for stoats and rats, while possums also prey upon their eggs and nestlings.
Flight Path aims to raise funds to reverse their declining population in the hope that one day the orange-fronted kākāriki will flourish again.
