The Kotare’s impressive bill is not just pretty, it’s a mighty weapon in the fight to defend territory and help them dive for fish. They also use it to make burrows – they fly straight at a decaying trunk and ram it till there’s a hole big enough to perch in and scoop out. You often see Kotare perching on a power line waiting patiently for its prey to appear. No wonder a bunch of them is called ‘a concentration’. Kotare is a must-have profile in any backyard.
Kotare is:
- Size 19cm high by 31cm
- Is made locally in a family-owned factory, right here in NZ
- Is crafted from 3mm Corten steel and designed to last a lifetime
- Is easy to install - holding on a downwards angle simply tap the thickest end of the stake with a hammer or mallet until secure
