From at least the 1870s, collectors knew the kākāpō population was declining; their prime concern was to collect as many as possible before the bird became extinct. [ citation needed ] In the 1880s, large numbers of mustelids (stoats, ferrets and weasels) were released in New Zealand to reduce rabbit numbers, [ 80 ] but they also preyed ...
The Auckland population dates from about 1920 and the Wellington one from about 1960. [8] [9] As early as 1928 the rosella was reported as being a pest around Auckland. [10] The sulphur-crested cockatoo population appears to be result of escapes of captive birds which have built to a total population of fewer than 1000 birds.
The kākāpō is the only flightless bird in the world to use a lek-breeding system. Usually, they breed only every 3–5 years when certain podocarp trees like rimu (Dacrydium cupressinum) mast abundantly. The kea is well adapted to life at high altitudes, and they are regularly observed in the snow at ski resorts.

The average global population of all mature birds is estimated to be on the order of 100 billion individuals. [1] [2] [3] The total population including younglings is somewhat higher during the breeding season of each species. [3] This list is incomplete, because experts have not estimated all bird numbers.
Measuring about six and a half feet high and nearly 40 feet long, these nets are made of fine mesh and used by researchers to capture otherwise hard-to-come-by data on a site’s bird population.
A new study found evidence that income inequality and historic redlining affect the types of birds people experience across Los Angeles County.
