The bird life has flourished and been enhanced with the introduction of birds like the Whitehead which had been extinct in the north for 100 years. The bird songs of Kiwi and at least 29 other species greet you daily from your porch and as you explore the many walks through nature on the island. Native trees are planted every year to provide food for the birds and to revive the natural fauna. Giant Wetapunga which have existed for 60 million years thrive in the valleys. The rare and endangered Tuatara is planned for release as well.

Eagle’s owners have worked with and hosted DOC, Project Island Song, the Massey University Kiwi conservation management and students, the Auckland Zoo and other conservation programs for biodiversity on the island. Hundreds of native trees have been planted to enhance Eagles surrounding forest. An island caretaker resides onsite to care for the common areas and is available for individual owner needs.
