OK so some people have licenses but I am sure they wouldn't be selling them for $60.

DOC had issued 15 to 20 permits to hold the birds in Marlborough, Mr Gaze said. A strong condition was that the birds not be released. The birds hybridised in captivity, so breeding with wild kakariki was undesirable, plus there was "a very real risk" of parrot diseases being spread, he said.

Other requirements were that birds be sourced from licensed holders and that facilities were up to standard. Importing and exporting of kakariki was no longer allowed.

From what I have overheard Kak's go for $20 to $50 between breeders here, an old bird guy that came into work was talking about buying 2 bonded pairs for $40 a pair recently.

That is way too cheap! If the general public can get birds that cheap, they don't want to look after them properly.

I gotta say I am very tempted to look into getting one.
Until we went to the zoo in christchurch i never realised how quiet and sweet the Kak is.
