Kakarikis

Kakarikis are lively parakeets originally from New Zealand. They are known for spending lots of time on the cage floor, scratching and foraging like little chickens.

Kakarikis are inquisitive, busy and entertaining to watch. They are often more active than cuddly and love to explore.

• Bright green with a red or yellow crown depending on species
• Slim, agile build
• Very active — they run, climb and forage
• Enjoy bathing

Kakarikis need space to move and forage, a cage with a wide floor area and plenty of enrichment.

A balanced diet with quality pellets or seed mix, fresh vegetables, greens and some fruit is commonly recommended. Ask about the food your bird is currently eating.
