Juvenile kākā

Kākā feeding her juvenile by regurgitating food into its mouth.

This kākā parent is feeding her begging juvenile by regurgitating food into its open beak. Juvenile kākā make a guttural repeated “aa-aa” call when soliciting food from their parents. They start to gain their independence from 2–5 months of age.
