New Zealand Takahe
The flightless takahe (Porphyrio [Notornis] mantelli) is a colourful green and blue bird with an impressive red beak and short stout legs. This unique bird, the largest living member of the rail family, was once thought to be extinct. There were only four recorded sightings of takahe last century and then none were seen until 1948. In that year a few pairs were rediscovered in the alpine tussock grasslands of the Murchison Mountains, Fiordland.
Takahe Facts
* Alpine grassland supplies its food and shelter such as broad-leaved snow tussock, mid-ribbed snow tussock and curled snow tussock.
* In winter, if snow cover is heavy, birds descend into the forest for shelter and feed mainly on underground starchy rhizomes of the summer green fern.
* After the snow clears in October, takahe often nest under the shelter of snow tussocks where each nesting pair builds up a raised bowl of grasses.
* One to three eggs are laid, and of these 80% hatch.
* The 30-day incubation period is shared by both parents who also feed the chicks for three months.
* Usually, only one chick will survive its first winter.
* A takahe looks similar to the common black and blue pukeko but is much larger and is green rather than black over the back.
* An adult stands about 50 cm high and can weigh over 3 kg.
* Takahe have lived over 20 years in captivity but in the wild few birds reach this age.
* Wings are for display only - such as courtship and aggression.

" Everything immaculate and I am absolutely delighted with the little Christmas Kiwi......
Dear Kristina,
Many thanks for my order received today. Everything immaculate and I am absolutely delighted with the little Christmas Kiwi which is to go into the Christmas stocking of my future daughter-in-law.
As a kiwi herself I know she'll be knocked out by him !
It's a bit early yet, but I send greetings for a Happy Christmas and may your business go from strength to strength.
