Kakariki,New Zealand Red Crowned Parakeet,Canon HF10

To keep these endangered Parakeets you have to have a permit from DoC, Pat and his wife Shirley allowed me to go into the aviary to film them so I could get close up video of this rare bird, what a sight flocks of these must have made when the first Europeans arrived in the early 19th century, then to just about wipe them out over the next century with the help of introduced predators,
