 | | Since the eradication of rats, four bird species have been released on Ulva Island, the rare South Island saddleback (Philesturnus carunculatus curunculatus), the threatened Stewart Island robin (Petroica australis rakiura), the rare yellowhead (Mohoua ochrocephala) and the rifleman (Acanthisitta chloris chloris). |
 | | South Island saddleback, yellowhead, robin, rifleman, red and yellow-crowned parakeets, wood pigeon and weka (wood hen), tui, fantail, tomtit, brown creeper and New Zealand wood pigeon, are amongst several varieties of birds that are often sighted. |
 | | We walk through Ulva Island's near pristine forest, listening to birdsong and stopping often to view endemic/native bird species and plants, providing quality interpretation on our natural history, conservation, Maori and European history. |
