minus-squareJoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up9·2 years agoProbably a Takahē in New Zealand but in captivity.
minus-squareabsGeekNZ@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 years 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-squareJoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-22 years 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-squareMrsDoyle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years 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-squareJoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years 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-squareMrsDoyle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI’m happy just to know they’re there, living their lives.
