Kokako

The Kokako is a native bird to New Zealand. There are to Types of Kokako The North Island Kokako and the South Island Kokako.The North Island kokako is a large songbird with a blue /grey body a  black mask and small blue wattles that rise from the base of the Beak and sit under their throat. They have long, strong legs and a long down-curved tail. Kokako run among branches, interspersed with glides on short round wings. They are usually found by listening for their song and calls.Younger Kokako have pink or lilac wattles.And a few adults have orange wattles.North Island kokako mainly eat fruit and leaves and, less often, flowers, moss, buds and nectar.North Island kokako live in a few scattered forests in the northern half of the North Island. Mostly  in the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Te Urewera, South Auckland and Northland. South Island kokako were slightly smaller and darker than the North Island birds.They occupied beech forests and low scrub above the tree line on both sides of Southern Alps from northwest Nelson south to Fiordland.And podocarp forest on Stewart Island plus some forested areas of Otago and Southland. They declined markedly after cats, ship rats and stoats came to New Zealand and were very rare by the 1800s. The population of the South Island kokako habitats shrank to Fiordland and the Stewart Island. The last accepted twentieth century sighting of the south island Kokako was at Mt Aspiring National Park in 1967. Declared extinct by the Department of Conservation in 2008.
