Endemic Birds
These are found only in New Zealand and nearby islands and most are now extinct. Many endemic birds are endangered and need our help.
Native Birds
Birds in this group arrived in New Zealand without the assistance of people and have survived to breed. Some do not live in New Zealand all year round.
Introduced Birds
Birds were brought to Aotearoa by pakeha settlers. Not all survived but those that did have become well established.
