Want to get Involved? Want to get Involved? Why Weka are Banded. Since the first banding schemes started in 1947, over 1.3 million birds from 241 different species have been banded throughout New Zealand. About 400,000 of these have been recovered, dead or alive. When a band is recovered from a dead bird or recorded from a captured bird, researchers are able to learn much about the bird.

Want to get Involved? Want to get Involved? The main recognised threats of Weka are starvation during droughts, and predation by mustelids, especially ferrets. Weka are often killed by uncontrolled dogs. Rats, hedgehogs, and possums also compete with the weka for what, in times of drought, can be a very restricted food supply. Weka videos on Youtube.

Some subspecies are threatened, but moving them to offshore islands can disrupt other threatened wildlife species, especially lizards, seabirds and other ground-nesting birds.
