Name our Kōkako
Puke Ariki has adopted a Kōkako and we need your help to choose a name. Come in to the Museum, complete our new Kōkako Ruru Hunt and suggest a name.
Kōkako are native to Taranaki but were nearly extinct by the 1990s. With the help of several conservation groups they've been reintroduced and we hope their numbers will continue to grow.
