Kaka Again

It's getting late in the season so I wanted one more chance to go after kaka (parrots). Here is my earlier kaka experience. This time I went with some DOC people to put a radio on a juvenile so they can track its survival. Even though he has all his feathers, he still can't fly, which means he is extremely vulnerable to introduced predators. Sarah caught him and my job was to hold him while Claude put the radio on. It is the same process as with the falcons. Also, their talons and beaks are just as dangerous as the falcons'. But no problems. Geez, I'm pretty tan by my standards.
