​

Kaipātiki is the home to an amazing variety of native birds.

 

The population and diversity of species looks like they are on the rise as a result or volunteer predator control and bush restoration.

​

Kaipātiki is fortunate to have significant ecological sensitive areas that provide habitats for nesting and food source for our native birds.

​

Kaipātiki is doing its part to deliver the North West Wildlife Link that provides a flight path and sanctuary for birds between the Waitakere Ranges and the Gulf Islands.
