Historical records show that Yellowheads (Mohoua ochrocephala) were once present in most forest habitats of the South Island and Stewart Island but they have become less widespread over the last 100 years. Disappearance from some areas was rapid at the end of the last century but Yellowheads survived in other forests until quite recently. Reasons for this decline should be investigated in the hope that appropriate management may prevent this species from becoming endangered.
