Protect Native Birds NORTH ISLAND KAKA The kaka, like the pigeon, is a native bird that has been seriously affected by the settlement of New Zealand. Once common throughout the country it is now confined to the remaining large areas of native bush. In early days the kaka was an important article of food and its red feathers were valued for making cloaks. Nowadays it is no longer necessary to kill the kaka, we must cherish it for the part it has played in the history of our country and for its usefulness in pollinating trees and destroying harmful insects. The law protects the kaka and other native birds for our common good. A fine of £50, a further £2 for every bird killed and the loss of a valued gun are penalties that await those who kill kakas.
