Kakariki feeding on top of some trees as viewed through a gap from the forest floor below. Not sure what they were feeding on but there were muehlenbeckia vines growing over a canopy of mahoe trees, plus other natives that have clusters of dark seeds. Terrible quality, but in this case an animated sequence gives something much easier to id than any one of the still frames that just show patches of green through a green canopy and the odd splash of red. (changed animation to a version slowed down from 25 frames per second to 10 frames per second)

We have a healthy looking pair hanging out in a large rewarewa tree in our backyard. They have been there for the past few days and in the general area over the last few weeks. Hope they are nesting close by.

A pair of them in the tree tops. Kakariki appear to be regular inhabitants of Otari these days, I hear them, or see them flying high overhead, whenever I visit.

8.34-8.36am In the dying karaka trees by the Tree-top walkway near the info centre. I've moved the GPS to as close as possible. They were feeding in some trees nearby before they flew over for a closer look at us.
