Bright emerald green with a distinctive crimson crown and patches behind the eye, it's one of New Zealand's most striking native parrots - once common across the mainland, now largely restricted to predator-free islands and protected sanctuaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKākāriki are inquisitive, energetic birds, foraging in trees and on the forest floor for seeds, berries, fruit, and insects. Usually seen alone or in pairs, they sometimes form small flocks over autumn and winter, filling the bush with their rapid, chattering call - quick learners and capable problem-solvers, as clever as they are colourful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach Kākāriki is handcrafted in Arrowtown by our Cheeky Beaks ceramics team. Shaped from white porcelain and carefully glazed, every piece captures the bird's vivid colouring and lively character. Small variations in glaze and finish mean no two are exactly the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece has a threaded bolt set into the base, so it can be displayed however suits your space - perched on a post or ledge, or mounted onto an M6 rod pushed into a garden bed or pot plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApprox. dimensions 20(h) x 15(w) x 20(d) cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cheeky Beaks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47796590411961,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/2851\/9353\/files\/JBS_9304.jpg?v=1783647526"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.cheekybeaks.nz\/collections\/frontpage.oembed","provider":"Cheeky Beaks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
