Red-crowned Parakeet on a flax-flower stem, Tiritiri Matangi, New Zealand

Kakariki began eating flax on TIritiri Matangi in the late 1990s, reducing flax-flower stems down to only two by 2000! When kakriki numbers declined significantly in the winter of 2001, flax flowering improved, much to the benefit of the three nectar-eating species: tui, bellbird, and stitchbird.
