Special Kiwi Gets to Fly
Posted by DoC Ranger

A very special delivery flew across the  alps this week thanks to Air New Zealand and the friendly staff at Hokitika Airport. A young chick, discovered in a burrow when rangers went in expecting to find an egg, had a seat all to itself on the little plane.  The chick was delivered into the safe hands of Cory-Ann, who reports it is doing well in the  chick-rearing facility at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve in Christchurch.

Kiwi are quick. Over open flat ground not many people could run as fast an adult kiwi.
