No 1 of top 21 NZ Animals - South Island Kaka

The South Island Kaka is one of my favourite birds in New Zealand, in fact it could be my favourite bird of all. It is disapointing to know that DOC have no plans of future conservation for this bird. People may think that this bird is cheeky as its cousin the Kea but its not. If you want to hear the sound of the South Island Kaka and other birds in New Zealand just go to this website and you can listen to the sounds. Here is the web adress.

The South Island Kaka is classified as Endangered and why should it. If I had a top 10 list of birds in New Zealand I can definatly tell you this is at the top with its cousin the Kea. Here is a picture of the South Island Kaka, the North Island Kaka and of course the Kea. The Kea is only found in the South Island of New Zealand and the North Island Kaka is of course only found in the North Island of New Zealand.
