See kiwi chick this Saturday

New chicks thrive

The chicks are about 2 months old now and are progressing well.  Several have moved out of the nursery and are in outdoor enclosures.  Here they learn to forage, feed and fend for themselves. 

From this Saturday - around 2pm - you will be able to see one or two of the chicks as they are taken for weighing and checking.  We not only have our chicks from our forest, but also some chicks from Rimutaka Forest.  The opportunity to see chicks is so limited, we really hope you can make it.

The kiwi house is still closed with renovations, but the eel talk and feed is on at 1.30, kiwi chick at 2pm and the kaka feed at 3pm.  All this, plus the yummy home made food in the cafe and the wonderful loop walk - what a fabulous day out!

Weather is great and the coffee is hot.  See you this weekend!
