 Welcome to Forest and Bird
More recent studies of mohua (or yellowhead), kaka and kakariki (yellow-crowned parakeet) confirm that stoats and probably rats are still having a major impact on mainland bird populations and that the process of decline is continuing.
Mohua have a good potential for recovery if the factors that have caused their decline can be eliminated or reduced significantly.
The long-term goal of the programme is to maintain and enhance mohua populations throughout their present range and beyond, by halting and reversing the degradation of the forest ecosystem.

 Mohua breed successfully on offshore island sanctuaries
Mohua (yellowhead), a native forest bird facing extinction on the mainland, is thriving at new homes on predator-free offshore islands.
Mohua have also been translocated to Nukuwaiata Is in the Marlborough Sounds, Breaksea Is and Chalkey Is in Fiordland, Ulva Is near Stewart Island, and Centre Is in Lake Te Anau.
The mohua – aka the bush canary for its bright and cheerful song - was a common South Island forest bird when European settlers arrived but a dramatic decline in numbers in the last 30 years has seen their disappearance from 75 per cent of their former range.

Mohua the giant spotted kiwi who broke the tip off her beak while being transported from the Heaphy Track to Nelson’s Lake Rotoiti is in good health and mending slowly after nearly five months in the Wildlife Ward.
Avian veterinarian Clare Green says Mohua’s beak is growing back, although slower than they thought it would, but it will be some time before they can judge whether she will be able to fully utilise her single remaining nostril.
Mohua lost one nostril and part of the other when she broke her beak.

The mohua or yellowhead Mohoua ochrocephala, is an endangered, hole-nesting passerine bird endemic to New Zealand.
Mohua productivity: Mohua productivity and survival was monitored within the trapped and untrapped areas which had eight and 10 pairs of mohua respectively.
Conclusions: The proportion of successful mohua nests was consistently higher in the trapped area in all three breeding seasons, especially in the first season of trapping (1990-91: 80% nest success in trapped area compared with 36% in untrapped area).

Mohua had also disappeared from the Hurunui River north branch, and were dramatically reduced in numbers in the Eglinton Valley (Fiordland) during the two breeding seasons.
Mohua – aka the bush canary for its bright colour and cheerful song - were once a common forest bird throughout South Island forests, says DOC scientist Graeme Elliot.
Currently, there are many hundreds of mohua on the islands of Breaksea, close to 100 on Chalkey and less than 50 on Anchor in Fiordland; 20-30 on Ulva and 30-40 on Codfish off Stewart Is, and 10 on Centre Is in Lake Te Anau.

Last century the Mohua was one of the most abundant and conspicuous of our forest birds and now it is one of the most threatened.
The Department of Conservation noted at the time, that dozens of Mohua (yellowheads) were observed probably the most since control work began in the valley.

 Yellowhead: New Zealand native land birds
The mohua (Mohoua ochrocephala) or yellowhead is a small, insect eating bird which lives only in the forests of New Zealand’s South Island and Stewart Island.
Unlike the other two members of its genus, the mohua has disappeared from large, relatively unchanged forests and is continuing to decline.
DOC's mohua/yellowhead recovery plan includes increasing mohua populations throughout their current range and extending that range through pest control, habitat protection and restoration measures.

 Mohua: BDG Synthesis
The mohua (yellowhead) was once one of the South Island’s more abundant native forest birds, but a dramatic decline in their population over the last 30 years has meant they are all but gone from 75 percent of their former range.
Mohua is a hole nester and therefore especially vulnerable to the usual depressing repertoire of predators- mice, rats, stoats and possums.
Recognition of the particular significance of masting has lately resulted in more government funding for mohua conservation, but BDG Synthesis had an opportunity to contribute in earlier years, and the $35,000 we gave to mohua conservation in 2002 was our first foray into conservation sponsorship.

 Elliott--Population viability analysis for mohua
Abstract Population viability analysis was used to assess the survival prospects of mohua (Mohoua ochrocephala) populations of varying sizes, with different breeding strategies and suffering predation episodes at varying frequencies, from the South Island of New Zealand.
Mohua populations in which most pairs attempted to raise two broods of chicks each year were more vulnerable to episodic stoat (Mustela erminea) predation than were populations in which pairs attempted to raise only one brood.
Reduction in stoat densities, particularly in years when their numbers are high, is likely to have a substantial positive effect on mohua populations.

The Mohua ( Mohoua ochrocephala) is an insectivorous passerine indigenous to beech ( Nothofagus spp.) forests in New Zealand's south island.
Mohua have undergone a 75% range contraction since stoats ( Mustela erminea) (which prey on nests and nesting females) were introduced to the south island in the late 1800s.
Mohua nests are particularly vulnerable when stoat abundance increases in response to eruptions in the density of introduced house mice ( Mus musculus), which in turn respond to semiperiodic (4–6 year) mass seeding (masting) of beech trees.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
I use the model to contrast the relative cost-efficiency of achieving conservation outcomes for Mohua (specified in a quasiextinction framework), initiating stoat control according to these cues.
The use of environmental cues reduced the frequency with which stoat control had to be undertaken to achieve Mohua conservation outcomes by more than 50%.
The interplay between costs of monitoring environmental cues and the frequency with which stoat control had to be undertaken meant that the most efficient strategy was dependent on the conservation outcome specified for Mohua.
