It'll be good if Chinese name can be provided.

Sorry - can't give you a Chinese name for it!!!   They are big birds, weighing up to 1 kilogram and are notorious for causing damage to  parked cars, trains and so on. Some people say that they make their nests out of car windscreen wipers, but I don't believe it!

It is the world's only mountain parrot. It is bold enough to attack live merino sheep.   « Last Edit: Nov 28th, 2003, 12:18am by Webcreeper » Logged 　　　　　　　>}o-}o-　　　>}o-　　　　　　　　　>}o-　　　　.......x Richard Bacon Guest Re: What bird is this? « Reply #6 on: Nov 28th, 2003, 3:59am » Quote Modify Remove Hello again!   I think that the Kaka is found on South Island, and Stewart Island, as well as North Island. In fact, according to The Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand, by Barrie Heather and Hugh Robertson, the North Island and South Island birds are different subspecies - septentrionalis and meridionalis respectively.   They are more common in  North Island than South Island, but are under threat from rats, stoats, possums etc.   Kia ora!   Richard Logged Webcreeper BBS Member BBS God I'm a webcreeper     Gender: Posts: 1031 Re: What bird is this? « Reply #7 on: Nov 28th, 2003, 1:03pm » Quote Modify Thanks for the clarification!
