Bird life

“Tiakina nga manu ka o te ngahere

Ka ora te ngahere, ka ora nga manu.” “Look after the birds and the forest flourishes

If the forest flourishes, the birds flourish.”

Arthur's Pass is home to a plethora of native birds such as kea, great spotted kiwi (roroa), morepork (ruru/koukou) and NZ falcon (karearea) to name a few. Keep an eye and an ear out for some of the following feathered friends who may be lingering around the village.
