Native bird talk by Auckland Museum bird ecologist Josie Galbraith

Kākā have been spotted on the Epsom side of Maungawhau/Mt Eden! Urban Ark-Manawa Taiao invite you to a talk by Auckland Museum bird ecologist Josie Galbraith about how native birds are doing in Auckland. You'll hear about some case studies of birds returning to urban areas and learn some cool facts about the evolution and behaviour of our native birds. There will also be a chance to get up close and personal to some taxidermied birds from the Auckland Museum ornithology collection. Phil Simpson from Urban Ark will also weave in some extra info about the Maungawhau Ecological Halo, a community project working to create conditions for native birds to thrive around Mt Eden.
