Sick Kakapo Rally Auckland Zoo
Two male kakapo have been nursed back to health at Auckland Zoo.
They were part of a group of three brought to the zoo's vet hospital in February by conservation partners at Kakapo Recovery.
The trio was suffering from cloacitis, an inflammation of the cloaca which can cause painful scabbing.
Bravo and Tautahi have flown back home- as passengers on an Air New Zealand plane.
They are settling back in at Whenua Hou Island, west of Stewart Island.
The third kakapo, Huhu, is still being treated at the hospital.
Zoo staff said she is an "absolute sweetheart" and is responding well to treatment.
The vet team has been researching the causes of cloacitis.
