If you’ve heard a Kokako before then you won’t of have forgotten about it. It’s distinctively eerie coo echos around the forest, reminiscent of ancient New Zealand forests. It’s stark blue wattle is a sight to see but you’ll have to head deep into the bush to see one of these amazing birds. The South Island Kōkako with its orange wattles is considered extinct but some people will say its still out there!
