A Weka is standing guard next to a picnic table laid with an impressive spread of bread, cheese, dips and an entire sponge cake.
Weka is quiet.
Weka is sneaky...
BUT WHAT IS THIS?!
A peeping weka chick comes out from under a nearby bush? And another?
Maybe not so sneaky after all... (2)

Weka evidently wanted to browse from this specific bush — without being seen!
Weka is the naughtiest member of our Nursery herd. She has a flair for drama and keeps us entertained (and on our toes) with her endless antics.

It's all smiles in Nairobi, as the rescued orphan elephants enjoy the spoils of the rains! We've seen trunk splashing, water kicking, and a lot of puddle based climbing games.
Weka looks proud as punch to have successfully pinned her friend Kamili for a three count!

Weka manages to make even the mundane look mischievous! She’s getting older and wiser, but no less naughty — she delights in riling up everyone around her.
Did you know that you can support an orphaned elephant like Weka through an adoption?

A woman stops suddenly on a walk track and points excitedly at a brown bird. "It's a KIWI!"
Her friend laughs and says: "Nope. Weka."
"No it's gotta be a kiwi!"
"Weka. Show it your sandwich and see."* (3)

Parents of toddlers know they love to push boundaries and baby elephants are no different! In October, four-year-old Weka graduated from the Nursery. This lovable rogue was ready to embrace a wider social circle and now benefits from older herd mates steering her onto the right path: swt.bio/weka

🧵Spotted At the Beach in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A weka* is VERY curious about a sandwich currently being absent-mindedly held by a man sitting in a beach chair, reading a paperback.
If Weka is very quiet...
And very sneaky...
And sidles up like this...
Maybe...
It shall have that sandwich... (1)

Any typos spotted in this post recently had a wonderful walk on the beach. If typos spotted, they'll be commiserating with a man who's just lost a curried egg sandwich to a sneaky weka. (Weka lurking in undergrowth, enjoying its snaffled lunch.)

A weka* is circling around a picnic table. A tiny dog (teacup mousehound?) is sitting in a basket and Weka is increasingly curious. Is this thing a sandwich?
Could it maybe... steal it?
BUT WHAT IS THIS?!
It barks?
Hmm. Nope. Maybe it'll go inspect the barbeque instead. (5)

The Nursery has always been home to its share of cheeky characters, today, Weka holds the title of ‘Naughtiest Elephant!’ Beneath her playful antics is a big-hearted girl with a nurturing streak, especially toward the younger orphans. Support Weka’s journey back to the wild: www.swt.bio/weka
