Report a Native Bird Sighting
If you see a korimako (bellbird), kākā, kererū or kārearea (New Zealand falcon) in the Waikato region, we would like to know.
These birds are relatively easily recognised, and can be found throughout the Waikato. They are important to the native ecosystem functioning as they are key distributors and pollinators of native plants. They can also help act as ‘bioindicators’ of ecosystem health.
Visit the Department of Conservation website for more information on korimako, kākā, kererū and kārearea.
The information you provide will help us to monitor bird distribution and identify and investigate any patterns that might occur. Of particular interest is the birds coming into Hamilton city as part of our Hamilton Halo operation.
Please note, anonymous bellbird sightings may be passed on to Manāki Whenua Landcare Research or the University of Waikato for research purposes only.
