New Zealand Birds | Birds | Gallery | Kakariki, Cyanoramphus auriceps Kakariki, the yellow-crowned parakeet “He came in flocks in the seventies; he was a scourge in the eighties; he was shot in thousands for his destruction of grain and fruit; then gradually he seemed to disappear; and now he is rarely heard near civilised parts.” Such were the words of a commentator early last century on the poignant fate of the “pretty little parrot”, the Kakariki.
