Birds

Tiritiri Matangi's birdlife suffered greatly when the forests were cleared for pasture. Many species were forced to find new homes and food sources, and only the more resilient species remained, such as tūī, fantail, silvereye, grey warbler, bellbird and spotless crake.
Birds on this site have been categorised into four main groups: endemic, (other) native, non-native and shorebirds and seabirds.
Please see the detailed bird pages for more information.
