A little kea concert. 🦜🎶

Recently, our kea had a chance to experience something totally new—a live guitar performance! As part of their sound enrichment, it was a really cool opportunity for them to experience live music for the first time. Safe to say they were pretty curious about the whole thing.

As we come to the pointy end of @beeawaremonthnz in Aotearoa New Zealand, we thought we’d share some simple actions you can easily implement that make a big difference for our bees:

- Plant native, bee-friendly plants like mānuka to support their food sources.
- Choose garden sprays and products that are safe for pollinators, ensuring a bee-friendly environment.
- Choose locally sourced honey to support sustainable beekeeping practices.

For a closer look into the fascinating world of bees, you can visit our Honey Bee Centre. It’s a cool way to learn more about the role bees play in sustaining our ecosystem, try some local honey, and it’s included in your park ticket!

You’re being watched! Can you spot her? 👀

Our girl Rui showing she has some pretty good camouflage skills that help her sneak up on unsuspecting prey.

Kārearea/New Zealand Falcon are one of the few species that actively hunt in New Zealand forests.🦅

Just some birbs being birbs. 🤎

I don`t know about you, but sometimes, just a little bird watching is all it takes to brighten up my day.

Remember, if you are in Queenstown and need your feather fix, pop into the park to hang out with some of Aotearoa New Zealand`s most awesome native birds.

That`s peak physique 💪

The kererū (New Zealand wood pigeon) will fluff their feathers up for insulation to help keep themselves warm. It`s an ideal ability for days like today when we get a spring snowfall.

It`s also a really cool trait that makes them look like serious units that spend way too much time at the gym. 💪
