Kākā out on a limb – Limited Edition Photo Fine Art Print

Kākā – Wellington’s Wild Success Story.
If you’re from Wellington – or lucky enough to visit our vibrant capital – you might feel like you’ve stepped into a prehistoric forest.

By day, flocks of North Island kākā wheel through the skies, screeching like parrot-shaped Pterodactyls as they navigate towering trees and the city’s urban sprawl. By night, while the city sleeps, their raucous calls echo overhead, a reminder that wildness still thrives in Pōneke.

For a close-up encounter with these charismatic bush parrots, head to Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne, the beating heart of Wellington’s conservation success. But if you’re after a more off-the-beaten-track experience, Ōtari-Wilton’s Bush is a personal favourite. Nestled in Wilton, it’s Aotearoa’s only public botanic garden dedicated exclusively to native plants, with 11km of walking tracks winding through lush forest. It’s the perfect place to watch kākā doing what kākā do best — being bold, noisy, and delightfully cheeky in the wild.

Please Do Not Feed the Kākā – Let them stay wild – Thanks //
