The gentle cooing of Kereru echoes through ancient forests as they feast upon native fruits, playing an essential role in seed dispersal. Meanwhile, South Island Takahe proudly strut across grassy plains; Porphyrio hochestetteri stands as a symbol of conservation success after being brought back from near-extinction. Observe how youthful exuberance transforms into regal maturity with our display featuring young and adult New Zealand Kingfishers. Their vivid plumage reflects nature's artistry at its finest. The elusive New Zealand Quail also makes an appearance - males adorned with intricate patterns while females exhibit subtle elegance. Behold the striking Paradise Shelduck or Putangitangi gracefully gliding over pristine waters; their monogamous bonds serve as inspiration for enduring love stories. Kea takes center stage with its mischievous antics and unparalleled intelligence – Nestor notabilis truly lives up to its name. In wetland sanctuaries hidden among reeds stands Australasian Bittern Matuku Hrepo – a masterful blend of camouflage and stealth.
