"But I don`t have time to trek out into the wild to try and find a kiwi bird!" 😩
Don`t worry, we`ve got you covered…
A trip to NZ wouldn`t be complete without seeing our iconic bird, and Kiwi Park is the one place you`re guaranteed to see one when visiting Queenstown!
Ideal for nature lovers of all ages, our nocturnal kiwi houses allow visitors to go kiwi spotting during daylight hours, right in the heart of Aotearoa`s adventure capital.

Could probably do this all day.
Aoraki is one of the kea here at Kiwi Park, and his favourite game to play is catch.
These birds are renowned for their intelligence, curiosity and playfulness, and Aoraki, in particular, loves to goof around with our wildlife team as part of his enrichment.

New ducklings 🐣
Recently hatching here at the park, these Pāteke (Brown teal) ducklings will stay with us for the next couple of months before being released into the wild.

The rat pack 🐀
Starring alongside our possums and rainbow lorikeets, we use rats to educate visitors about the devastating impact these introduced species are having on our native wildlife.

We think these reptiles are the epitome of demure. 🫶

Unfortunately, the evidence suggests otherwise. 🤔
Since their introduction from Australia in 1837, possums have wreaked havoc on native birdlife populations.
Their are a number of trapping and eradication initiatives throughout the country, led by the likes of @docgovtnz, which are playing a vital role in reducing numbers. However, without any significant natural predators of their own, possums (and other invasive species, like stoats and rats) continue to pose a significant threat to some of our endangered native birds.
