Kākā and branch wall decal in a bright designer room, view 2.

The design

A kākā with character

The curved beak and warm brown plumage stand out among winding branches and green foliage. Give this native parrot a clear wall space where the bird’s shape and the branch detail can be seen together.

Size and placement

Frame the whole branch

This composition is close to square. Measure beyond the bird itself to include the furthest leaves and branches, and choose a size that leaves a little breathing room around the artwork.

Dimensions are approximate. Metres are used from 1 m upward, and centimetres below 1 m. Measure your available wall space before choosing.

Available artwork dimensions

  • 60 cm wide x 62 cm high
  • 1 m wide x 1.03 m high
  • 1.2 m wide x 1.24 m high
  • 1.93 m wide x 2 m high

Made here, for your wall

What arrives

The artwork includes the kākā, winding branches and green foliage in the composition pictured.

Made to order in New Zealand in removable matte vinyl, printed with water-based inks.

Application tape holds the detail together while you transfer the artwork to the wall. It is removed after application.

Check your surface first

Best on a smooth, sound painted wall. Let new paint cure fully before installation. Removable does not mean reusable, and removal results depend on the paint and wall condition. Unsure about your finish? Send us a close-up photo before ordering.

How application-tape installation works
  1. Position the decal and use the side-hinge method shown in the guide, approximately 20 cm from the top.
  2. Remove the backing and smooth the artwork onto the wall as directed in the supplied guide.
  3. Remove the application tape last, leaving the artwork on the wall.

Kākā are versatile forest foragers. Their menu includes fruit, seeds, nectar, tree sap and insects, including larvae hidden inside wood.

Where to find kākā in New Zealand

Map of New Zealand

Kākā inhabit native forests such as Pureora Forest Park and Whirinaki Te Pua-a-Tāne Conservation Park in the North Island. Farther south, they also live around Halfmoon Bay on Stewart Island/Rakiura. These lively forest parrots are closely associated with healthy bush and effective predator protection.
