‘Kākā Revival’ is an artwork that celebrates the growing population of the Kākā in the Wellington region. The artwork is based on a photograph I
took at Zealandia Ecosanctuary in Karori, Wellington. The initial introduction was with 14 birds to Zealandia in 2002. By the end of the 2018/2019
season, over 1,000 Kākā have been banded by their very successful breeding program. You can now see Kākā around the greater Wellington region;
they have even been seen down and around Parliament! Like their cousin the Kea, Kākā are considered to be one of the world’s most intelligent
birds.
I created this video as a way to capture the start to finish process of my native bird artwork. I used solely my phone and used the timelapse mode
for my drawing. I then collated the footage using the ‘Quik’ app, which is an easy way to create short videos with your phone.
