minus-squareMrsDoyle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoI saw takahē in captivity too, in Zealandia. You can sort of see why they almost went extinct - their big defence move is to sit reeeeally still. Big silly chooks. https://www.visitzealandia.com/About/Wildlife/Birds https://www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/takahe-recovery-programme/
minus-squareJoyfulCodingGuy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoYeah I saw the takahē in Zealandia and one other zoo. Would have been cool to see in the wild if possible in the preservation areas the have.
minus-squareMrsDoyle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI’m happy just to know they’re there, living their lives.
