minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•1 year agoProbably a Takahē in New Zealand but in captivity.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoIn the wild I’ve seen kiwi, kea, Kākā. I took a trip to mana island in the late 90’s, the kiwi were just wandering around during the day… I’ve never seen the takahē.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•edit-21 year agoI too saw a kea in the wild near the Milford Sound! Sadly I didn’t see any of the others in the wild. The takahē was also in Zealandia.
minus-squareMrsDoylelinkfedilink1•1 year agoI saw takahē in captivity too, in Zealandia. You can sort of see why they almost went extinct - their big defence move is to sit reeeeally still. Big silly chooks. https://www.visitzealandia.com/About/Wildlife/Birds https://www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/takahe-recovery-programme/
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•1 year agoYeah I saw the takahē in Zealandia and one other zoo. Would have been cool to see in the wild if possible in the preservation areas the have.
minus-squareMrsDoylelinkfedilink2•1 year agoI’m happy just to know they’re there, living their lives.
