Hey Te Waharua!  I am looking forward to seeing you all at Nga Manu soon!
Here is a sneek preview of what you will see.

 Scientists discover that the animal kingdom can be cruel.  This photo shows the black swans with their cygnets (babies).  Unfortunately 3 did not survive.  They got eaten by the Pukeko despite the parents being very protective and hiding them in the flax bushes.

The little ducklling straying behind had a broken foot and had to be put down. The mallard duck seen in this photo is not a native duck.
