137 galleriesNew Zealand currently has 206 species of breeding birds, of which 94 (46%) are endemic, 76 are native, and 37 are introduced. When the bird fauna is expanded to include vagrant and extinct species, New Zealand has 482 species. Prior to the late arrival of humans (approximately 700 years ago), New Zealand's unique island ecosystem had been primarily dominated by birds, insects, and reptiles. From flightless wonders such as the kiwi and kakapo (world's heaviest parrot), to spectacular seabirds the likes of the isolative yellow-eyed penguin and majestic wandering albatross, to the world's rarest wader (black stilt), New Zealand's diverse array of peerless avifauna have been at the forefront of conservation initiatives and ecotourism. Taken by award-winning New Zealand wildlife photographer and author Kimball Chen, this gallery of New Zealand bird photography is available for conservation projects, advertising, or fine art gallery prints.

7 galleriesBiodiversity is facing mounting threats from habitat loss and fragmentation. The homes of many wildlife species are being destroyed as their native habitats are being converted for human uses, including urban development, agriculture, mines, and other extractive industries. Healthy ecosystems depend on plant and animal species as their foundations. When a species becomes endangered, it is a sign that the ecosystem is slowly falling apart. Each species that is lost triggers the loss of other species within its ecosystem.

175 imagesKea photo stock images. The kea parrot (Nestor notabilis) is an alpine parrot found only in New Zealand. A kea bird can satisfy its daily caloric intake typically within an hour, which frees their day up to play and learn via social/group behavior. This social learning ability is not often found in wildlife, and makes the kea a rather intelligent bird. Keas are more often known for their inquisitive and destructive behavior; they seem to rather enjoy tampering with hikers' boots and backpacking gear. New Zealand pictures of the kea in this gallery have all been taken in Fiordland, New Zealand, mostly during the winter. Once locating the keas, they definitely don't seem shy of having their photos taken. Juvenile keas are easily identified by the yellow ring around their eye and nostrils. This yellow coloring fades within 2 years.
