Another refuge of the orange-fronted parakeet is in the Hawdon River valley, adjacent to Arthur's Pass National Park. The Hawdon is just across a mountain range from the Hurunui but drains into the upper Waimakariri River. Recent surveys have confirmed a third population in the nearby Poulter River which also drains into the Waimakariri River.
