| | Bellbird Observation Report |
 | | Landcare Research at Lincoln, in association with Christchurch City Council and Canterbury University, is conducting studies on the distribution and habitat use of bellbirds in and around Christchurch, the Port Hills and the wider Canterbury area. |
 | | As part of these studies, we are collating a database of bellbird, kererü and other bird observations in Mid- to North Canterbury (plains, hills, basins, and urban areas, from Ashburton north to the Conway River, including Banks Peninsula). |
 | | Ideally we require records of birds, the number, their behaviour, location, date, any colour bands observed on legs, and the sequence of colours on each leg (colour-banding project). |
