Quake Kiwi Ready for Release

Quake Kiwi Ready for Release

This Sunday, Otautahi a Kiwi who hatched at Orana Wildlife Park, will be released to the wild in the Rimutaka Forest Park near Wellington. As an egg Otautahi was rocked about inside the incubator during last February’s 6.3 magnitude earthquake, but miraculously still hatched.

Orana’s Head Keeper of Native Fauna, Alyssa Salton, says she has mixed emotions at the thought of Otautahi departing: “He has been a really lovely bird to work with so we are sad to see him go. When he hatched, he gave our team something very positive to focus on at a time when so many horrible events had occurred around Canterbury as a result of the earthquake. On the other hand, I am really pleased that he will be released to the wild, this is part of what we aim to achieve as a captive institution. Plus, I understand there are many potential girlfriends waiting for him in the Rimutakas so he has the chance to help preserve his species.”
