Looking for the perfect #fathersday gift just in time for this Sunday? Swing by the Sanctuary for a family walk while picking out something special from our gift shop.
Earthly Cuddle has made it easy with these adorable gift packs! With healing lip balm for men, natural soap, and a ...reusable soap saver bag, all for $25 and made with plant-based 100% natural ingredients, this is a no-brainer.
Wait til the end to see why these are the cutest birds.
The kākāriki karaka, or orange-fronted parakeet, is a symbol of resilience and hope for conservation efforts in New Zealand. With its striking orange crown and lively personality, this rare parakeet deserves the title of Bird of the... Year 2024 for several compelling reasons:
1. Once on the brink of extinction, the kākāriki karaka has made a remarkable comeback thanks to dedicated breeding and release programs. With over 300 birds now thriving in the Sanctuary, their population is steadily increasing.
2. This bird is not only important for biodiversity but also holds cultural significance for the Ngāi Tahu iwi, who are actively involved in its recovery. Their efforts highlight the importance of community in conservation.
3. The kākāriki karaka stands out among New Zealand’s avian species with its vibrant plumage and charming demeanor. Its lively calls and social behavior make it a favorite among birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike.
4. As a species sensitive to habitat changes, the health of kākāriki karaka populations reflects the overall well-being of New Zealand’s forest ecosystems. Protecting them means protecting our natural heritage.
Let’s rally together to support this incredible bird! Vote for the kākāriki karaka at birdoftheyear.org.nz from sept 2-15 and celebrate its journey from near extinction to thriving in our forests. 🦜💚
