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.
