The Karori Sanctuary is in Wellington- really close to us for a weekend or school holiday visit. It's a bit like Mt. Bruce where lots of us visited last year.
There are signs of spring at the sanctuary now. Kowhai trees are flowering and the kaka are feasting on the kowhai flowers.Hihi are laying eggs, bellbirds are being banded, shags are feeding chicks and the saddlebacks have been seen building nests.
Did you know...
One of the kaka was taken to the Wellington Zoo hospital earlier this year because it had been suffering from zinc poisoning.He's fine now thank goodness.
