Kereru like 'Uenuku' (pictured below) along with other native birds are vital to the pollination and dispersal of seed for most NZ native plants. Help scientists and conservationists form a picture of the health of our environment by participating in the 'NZ Garden Bird Survey' this year. The survey involves sitting (possibly with a cuppa) in your favourite spot outside identifying and recording the birds in your area. The survey runs from 29th June - 7th July and you can download all the information needed to get started from the link below. Let's get ready to help our natives!
