The hundredth kaka
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- Kaka were extinct in Wellington for over 100 years until six captive-reared birds were released into the award-winning wildlife sanctuary in 2002. Since then several more captive-reared birds have been released, but the population has naturally increased at least ten-fold, and the birds are becoming an increasingly common sight in local parks and gardens.
