I went to Tiritiri Mantangi the other day and saw some absolutely amazing birds. The island was absolutely full of endemic NZ birds, most of which allow you to get extremely close! The top photo is of Tui fighting over feeder rights, they were very aggressive over the feeder but a little male bellbird was able to sneak in occasionally while they were fighting. The video is of two endangered Takahē and their chick! It was the first time the chick appeared in the open. They looked like little dinosaurs

Bonus kererū from karamatura falls
