 about
This Kakariki's disappearance from the main islands is thought to be due to the introduction of a host of smaller predators such as rats, cats, stoats and weasels, and possibly also exotic disease.
Last century 'plague' proportions of this Kakariki were recorded in the vicinity of fruit orchards; it was also the parrot most adapted to utilising the newly cleared grazing country.
As Kakarikis are recognised as being prolific breeders and generally adjust well to captive conditions, it would seem opportune to set up captive gene pools of the various sub-species to guard against possible catastrophes befalling the birds.

Now Kakariki, though she was a crackhead, had a very special pill that she liked to call the "Magic Mirra." It was this silvery little shiny pill dat looked all nice and sh*t.
On very special occasions, Kakariki would take dis pill, and she'd walk up to her mirror in the bathroom after she started sweating, and would start talkin' to it, which freaked the neighbors out, but they didn't ask.
Now generally, Kakariki would ask this mirror, "Mirror mirror on the bathroom wall, am I the finest b*tch of all?" and bein' her delusional self, she would get the mirror to say yes.

The population of the bright green, budgie-sized kakariki has plummeted to critical levels in the past three years because of predators such as stoats and rats.
The total orange-fronted kakariki population is thought to be around 200 but, unlike other birds on the endangered list such as takahe, kakapo and fl robin, it doesn't have the safety net of transfer to an offshore island because the department simply doesn't have enough in captivity.
The seven kakariki eggs will be fostered by a close relative of the orange-fronted parakeet, the yellow-crowned parakeet, at the Isaac Wildlife Trust in Christchurch.

Of the five extant species of parakeets native to New Zealand only two, the red crowned parakeet (Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae) and the yellow crowned parakeet (Cyanoramphus auriceps) are most commonly kept in captivity and are usually referred to as kakariki.
They have distinctive calls which sound like "ki-ki-ki" and spend a lot of the day chattering to each other (no doubt about all the people passing by their aviary).
We feed the kakariki a captive diet of sunflower seeds, carrots, peas, corn kernels, apple, pear and walnuts.
