Pamela Moresby
Hope your New Year’s Eve went well. I saw a few fireworks last night which included several rockets bursting out into stars.
I was looking for something else this morning but couldn’t resist the bird. It is a New Zealand Kakariki Parrot from the Auckland Zoo. You will notice it is in our NZ bush settings so it is completely at home in it’s natural environment.
There are 2 types at the Auckland Zoo, the one with the red on it’s head, like this one and another that is bright Green. Both are endangered species. Some think it is wrong to put them into cages as they are birds, but the Zoo does it’s best to create the cage as a home and watches them. The Kakariki is an endangered species and it is man’s fault for introducing more predators to New Zealand in the first place like cats, rats, mice, stoats, ferrets, weasels, and opossums. Man is often the worst predator.
They live in a very large metallic tent that allows light to go through but prevents escapes and also prevents their predators.

Gorgeous bird! Happy New Year, Pamela! I hope it’s a great one!
Thanks Ellie, Happy New Year for 2020!
Happy New Year! The bird is so pretty, it’s a great New Year photo
Thanks so much Tzwrites, I just saw when I posted it, that it is the picture I chose for the first month of 2020 for my bird calendar when I created it.
the best of the new year to you and Warwick Pam!!!! I love the parrot. do they talk?
Thanks Doc, well I believe any bird can talk, but I think they say more if you spend time more with them and like any animal they need company.
Parrots definetly can talk, but so can Mynas, Tuis, Budgies and many birds. The talk is more mimic than actual communication.
thanks! I assumed most parrots talk but I figure I better ask!
I saw your New Year’s celebrations on tv the first to celebrate. Happy New Year to you
Thanks Grace and may 2020 be a Happy one for you as well.
We are still waiting for the New Year to come. It happens after 1,5 hours.
Yes, I saw some fireworks last night which was lovely.
You were a little overtaken by the arrival of the New Year. We will have a new year in about 3 hours.
New Zealand has new year first in the world. We are 12 hours ahead of Slovenia.
We are still waiting for the new year, dear Pamela …. 3.45minutes more and we will enter the new year
Yes, the time zones are different in the world. Thanks Lado.
You entered the New Year 12 hours earlier than we did, dear Pamela
Another beautiful bird Pam. Happy New Year’s eve will be later.
Not sure what time zone is your Carol but we are positioned 1st in the time zone and not sure why. New Zealand is one very small nation.
