The Power of Falconry Techniques

Falconry, an ancient art and sport involving the use of trained birds of prey, has provided us with valuable insights into the behavior, training, and care of raptors. These techniques have proven to be remarkably effective in the rehabilitation of injured, sick, or orphaned native raptor species.

Hands-On Care

Our team of dedicated experts at Kahu Conservation works closely with a variety of New Zealand's native raptor species, including the powerful New Zealand Falcon (Kārearea), the elusive Morepork (Ninox novaeseelandiae), and the majestic Harrier Hawk. Through hands-on care and the application of falconry techniques, we provide specialized attention to each individual bird's unique needs.

Training and Conditioning

Falconry techniques enable us to train and condition these birds, ensuring they regain their strength, hunting skills, and natural instincts. This approach enhances their chances of successful release back into the wild, where they can contribute to their respective ecosystems once more.

An Educational Journey

Beyond rehabilitation, Kahu Conservation is committed to education. We believe in sharing the knowledge and expertise we've gained in the field of falconry and raptor rehabilitation with the public. Through educational programs, workshops, and outreach initiatives, we aim to raise awareness about the vital role of native raptors in New Zealand's ecology and the importance of their conservation.

Conservation Through Collaboration

Our work doesn't stop at rehabilitation and education. We actively collaborate with other conservation organizations, government agencies, and wildlife experts to further our mission. Together, we strive to protect the habitats and ecosystems essential to the survival of these raptors.
