Love is the air for Zealandia takahē
Zealandia is reporting that one of their takahē is sitting on a nest.
"While we are excited about this, these birds live at Zealandia as a retiree couple, which means the likelihood of any egg hatching is quite low."
Takahē live in swampy environments and so run the risk of their egg washing away in big weather events. Zealandia say they will do their best to protect the nest and are promising to keep the public informed of any positive outcomes.
