A slight detour on our journey to National Park was to visit Otorohanga Bird Park, It featured the usual suspects and a manic Kiwi bird that wouldn't sit still in its enclosure. There were some Kaka's and a lonely Kea (Alpine Parrot). It was all on its own in the enclosure so I took it on myself to befriend it and it came right up to the bars so I could talk to it and give its head a scratch. It did actually look sad and all it had was a mirror to amuse itself. The ducks were amusing, They were fighting and diving down for food and one duck started preening as soon as I had my camera out. There were apparernly a few geckos but I think they just shoved a couple of bushes in a glass cage and said there is a gecko in there.
