Baby (orphaned) pūkeko in the pet shop, being raised till it can be released. Pūkeko unimpressed. Pet shop’s parrots even less impressed.

Out buying extra bird deterrents today after pukeko ripped out half my pumpkins and once again contemplating how a society of rugged individuals would fall apart in 5 minutes

Known in New Zealand as the Pūkeko

I saw a pūkeko catch, kill and eat a duckling! I did not know they did that! I was in shock to find out that they are carnivorous.

Because international shipping is hard these days, we also have a print-on-demand option for people living in far-flung places like Europe, the UK, and the Americas.

Here you can buy a selection of our designs on tee shirts, mugs, jigsaw puzzles, magnets etc.

Golly. I anthropomorphise animals and in my mind pūkeko were jolly vegetarians!
November 2, 2026 at 3:28 AM
so i once lived near an estuary and the pūkeko and ducks had regular gang wars where they would kidnap and eat each other's babies

@robcrank68.bsky.social has chosen Alan's theme for #BirdOfTheDay #NOP, and the Alt theme is #LargeBirds

N: Nankeen Night Heron
O: Ospreys
P: Pūkeko (Maori name for Australian Swamphen)

They're all larger than a pigeon, so is it a Sixer?

The other thing about pūkeko is they have an interesting sex life. They’re polygynandrous.(I got that big word from Wikipedia but I remember reading about some research that was done down here in Christchurch on their habits)

I was just reading about how they have had to control pūkeko when raising endangered ducks

ah. embarrassing. apparently House House have already made this one

so instead my Big Walk will be an attempt to hike from Rakiura to Te Rerenga Wairua in Aotearoa, mostly on Te Araroa

it'll be about 3000km over about five months, wish me luck!

New birds I got today! All 3 are varying quality; pheasant is a bit worse for wear and likely a lot older, pukeko is in pretty good shape buy clearly taxidermy, and magpie straight up looks alive.
