Pair spotted flying a regular circuit around the mature canopy surrounding Pah Homestead and nearby monastery. They stopped occasionally in the Morton Bay fig trees for a feed. The pair were noisy and upset the local birds; a large flock of starling flew up and away from one tree when the kaka pair settled in it.

Bird feeding on puriri flowers, high up in a mature tree. Fascinating to watch the bird use its claw like a hand and delicately munch its way through the flower.

I watched this Kaka dig out a huhu grub from an old pine tree, then climb up onto a branch and hold the grub in one foot as it ate it, looked a bit like someone eating from an ice cream cone.

Heard bird kraaking, then brief whistling. Found the kaka in the top of a tree in a residential property next to Monte Cecilia Park. Bird was preening after heavy rainfall. Bird flew back to the park, landed in large pohutukawa, preened some more, then was chased out by a tui to a nearby eucalyptus. Kaka foraged in the flowering tree briefly, then flew back up to top end of park. Minutes later four eastern rosellas chased the kaka away, following it back to the bottom end of the park. The kaka left the park, circled wide over Mt Albert Rd, and came back to the western section of the park.
