A chatter of parakeets can be heard at Auckland Zoo, rare ones at that. Eleven kākāriki karaka, or orange-fronted parakeets, have been hatched there in the past few weeks and more are expected.
They're Aotearoa's rarest parakeet and the super special chicks are not naturally found in the city, with their usual home much further south.
Auckland Zoo birdman Carl Ashworth explains how the chicks are doing.
