From deep within the nighttime forest come the sounds of a male kakapo calling for a mate. His “booming” and “chinging” can be heard for kilometres, and his shrieking or “Skraaking” is him conversing with his neighbours. Nicknamed the “night parrot”, this curious and amiable giant of his kind, will sustain his repertoire for months if he has to. With numbers at an endangered level, the chances of him finding a partner are slim; but when he does, any resulting chicks are all the more precious.

Wild-Card unique native bird cards are more than just a card - they are a gift which can be kept as a keepsake or a collector's item, providing you with a genuine souvenir of New Zealand's native bird life.

The cards are made in New Zealand and all the photographs have been taken by professional photographers, or nature lovers, in the field.  The bird songs in each card are very high quality professional recordings.

​Each native bird card is a unique captured moment of nature making it a perfect gift for special occasions, nature lovers, bird lovers and those looking for a memento of Aotearoa.

Each photograph has been taken by professional photographers, or nature lovers, in the field. They represent captured moments in the birds’ lives that would normally be impossible to view (except for the Tui). However because of their work, and love for the bird, they have been able to take advantage of the trust afforded them by the bird.

The design of the card is further enhanced with matt lamination which provides a softer more natural looking card. Inside the card there is a photograph and short description of the bird's natural wild habits. Plus we have the remarkable addition of the audio hi-lights of each bird’s song. 

The size of the card is 120mm x 200mm and comes complete with a designed matching envelope.
