A great story here from Karina Cooper. Needless cruelty to our species should be highlighted, it happens more often than you'd realise!

Getting the some Pit tags ready for banding Hihi chicks next week.
The bands are injection modelled and customised to hold an RFID chip with a unique number for each Hihi.

Female hihi do most of the work raising the chicks, but occasionally the territorial male will come help out with some feeding.

Surrounded by hihi eggs 💛🖤🤍
The core nest structure remains the same, but the females tend to be different as they line the nest with various finds such as feathers and moss.

The first egg of the season was laid on 20th Sept 2023. Much earlier than usual for our Tiritiri Matangi birds.

There's despair from volunteers and conservationists as their hard-won gains over pest plants and animals stand to be lost in a tranche of budget cuts.

Reading #Team_Hihi and reminiscing about my time in the forest with them. Very cool graphic novel about on-the-ground Hihi work.

Our bumbling nocturnal parrot is easy to love, and easy to root for. But there are more native species in desperate need of conservation attention.
