Cuuuute 🥹

I`m just sharing some of the camera roll, which has been full of whio ducklings since these cuties hatched a couple of months back. 🐣

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Especially here in Aotearoa New Zealand, where our native bird species make up a large chunk of our native wildlife, there is so much cool stuff to learn about our feathered mates.

We may be a little biased, but a great place to start is your local wildlife conservation park. There`s really no substitute to getting up close and learning directly from some passionate wildlife experts.

Happy (belated) Halloween! 🎃

We know we`re about a week late, but we couldn`t resist sharing this adorable video of Mayhem enjoying some treats.

Remember, while possums are pests that harm our native ecosystems, they aren`t monsters. In New Zealand, they find themselves in an unfortunate situation beyond their control. With the help of our resident pair (Mayhem and Chaos), we aim to shed light on their story, promoting understanding and compassion for all creatures, even as we support the vital conservation efforts to protect our native birds and wildlife.

That`s a pretty good offer, tbf 😮

Fellas, take note. This is what courtship looks like! This nifty dance, performed by the male kererū, is used to impress and catch the eye of a potential partner.

Who could resist?!
