Former AB's rugby great Richie McCaw
The country's rarest parakeet has found a celebrity backer as its population slowly comes back from the brink of extinction.
Former All Black captain Richie McCaw was at the controls of an orange-fronted parakeet-themed helicopter when it landed at Christchurch's Addington Raceway for the "Save Canterbury's Kākāriki" event on Wednesday.
The company he part-owns, Christchurch Helicopters, has partnered with the Department of Conservation (DOC) to protect the species, which is one of our most threatened.
