The final #kakapo chick (Pearl-4B) from this year's cohort has fledged the nest (defined as roosting outside the nest for the first time). There are 91 chicks alive. They won't be counted towards the population until they're 150 days old. 📸 Petrus Hedman #conservation #kakapo2026 #parrots #birds

From Hello, to Goodbye 🥹 thank you Rakiura (and you’re not getting that security deposit back this year) #kakapo #kākāpō #kakapocam
Show PostSo, thank you Rakiura, for everything 🥹 And thank you, DoC, @ali-ballance.bsky.social, the Rangers, KRP, @digs.bsky.social, and the endless volunteers this season. The chat made its own little community this season, but only because your tireless efforts have made it possible.
Show PostOur team has finally managed to dig into #kakapo Rimu's cliff-top nest on Te Kākahu. We knew there was at least one chick inside, and that it had a high chance of falling to its death when it left. The cliff-side hole has been blocked and new entrance made.
