Conservationsts celebrate kākā breeding project

From Morning Report, 8:41 am on 23 January 2023

Conservationists are celebrating the success of a wild kākā breeding programme at the top of the South Island.  

Ten years ago, less than a handful of forest parrots roamed the Abel Tasman National Park. 

Now, there are six kākā nests in the park, with chicks set to fledge any day.
