The Kea Conservation Trust has just launched the kea database where scientists and members of the public can report kea sightings.
Thanks to the banding efforts of several volunteers I was able to positively identify some of the birds I observed while staying in Otira.
My beloved number 4 is actually called Trillian and she's alive and well.
Another bird I called 7 is named Screech and I was able to provide a photo of him for the website. I even got photo credit.
There. I've done my bit.
Should I get the chance to spend another week out Arthur's Pass way, I can now share my data and make a small contribution to monitoring the survival of my favorite New Zealand bird.
