Superb Parrot

 Once again some children at Owairaka have come to the aid of a lost bird. I love the way you are so caring and kind to birds that are not behaving 'normally.' Whea Puhi is becoming our Retriever - she fetches the birds and brings them to me to take care of. She has retrieved a Tui, a Cooks Petrel and now an endangered Barriband Parakeet or Superb Parrot. He was returned to his owner after Sarah found a notice about the lost bird on Facebook. He had been lost for 5 days.  His name is COCO - which translated into english means 'friend'. Definitely what I would call a group effort.

Well done Owairaka.




Who's a tame bird then!

                    Waiting for 'dad' to come!

    1. Matteo, I only had this awesome bird for a few hours! He ate and slept until he was picked up by his owner.
