Kākāpō Earrings - New Zealand Birds

The history of the kākāpō is a story of drama, despair and hope. Before humans arrived, kākāpō were abundant throughout New Zealand. Population numbers dropped swiftly due to hunting, introduced predators and land clearance. Conservation efforts began in 1894, but by the mid-1900s, kākāpō teetered on the edge of extinction. There are roughly only 200 kākāpō alive today.

Packaging that really tells a story—Learn more about these beautiful birds with our bespoke earring cards, carefully researched and designed by us for every single bird in our flock.

A portion of the profits from earrings sold in our New Zealand collection will be donated to the Kākāpō Recovery Programme.

✧ Due to the nature of individually handmade items, there may be small imperfections present. Though we have taken care to capture the true colours of each pair, colours may vary on different screens.
