The flightless #kakapo usually nest underground. Yesterday we found the coolest nest I’ve ever seen: Whetu was 3m above ground in a hollow rata tree. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

A first glimpse of #kakapo chick Whetu-A3, about a day old and unreachable in Whetu’s nest in a hollow rata tree. In the last week about 16 chicks have hatched on Pukenui and Whenua Hou. #kakapo2026 #conservation #wildlife #birds

This nest wasn't usual: the first ever in which we couldn't access the chick. But Whetu-A3 has recently fledged from the nest in good health. As we transition to less intensive management for #kakapo, more nests will be treated like this (without ramps!). 📸: Petrus Hedman. #conservation

Celestial "sisters": Welcoming Marama and Whetū to our whare. Marama (🌝) is a luminescent grey-and-white like the moon (with a wee milk moustache) and Whetū (⭐) is black as deep space with a white star on her chest.

Absolutely gorgeous day here in Tāmaki Makaurau today.

Bodes well for a clear sky for the Umu Kohukohu Whetū at Takaparawhau Marae tomorrow morning.

Ngā whetū o Matariki ✨
Illustrated poster titled "Ngā Whetū o Matariki" on a dark starry background, describing the nine stars of Matariki and their meanings in te reo Māori with English translations: * **Pōhutukawa** – “Mē whakamihi i ō tātou tini mate” (Acknowledge our deceased) * **Waitī** – “Ngā kai o te wai māori” (Foods of the fresh water) * **Waitā** – “Ngā kai o te wai moana” (Seafood) * **Waipuna-ā-rangi** – “Ngā ua” (The rains) * **Tupuānuku** – “Ngā kai o te oneone” (Foods of the soil) * **Tupuārangi** – “He rākau, he manu, he whurutu, he kākano” (Trees, birds, fruit and seeds) * **Ururangi** – “Ngā hau” (The winds) * **Hiwa-i-te-rangi** – “Me kaikōhau i ō tātou hia hia” (Murmur our hopes and desires) * **Matariki** – “Me mahi tahi tātou. Mō te oranga o te katoa.” (Work together for the wellbeing of all.) Below the text are star icons in different colours and a group of people gathered on a grassy hill, looking up at the stars. Text at the bottom reads: “Mānawatia a Matariki.”

Her name, Whetū (=star 🌟) is so apt. 🥰

Two months ago, I returned a fertile #kakapo egg (Whetu-A3) to the nest and tried to remove another infertile egg from beneath her. She wouldn't let me take the egg, so I offered her the new one. Tricky to do that with one hand while using my phone to see what I was doing! Luckily she took the egg!
