Kiwi news.

We have had a report of a kiwi being heard in our bush, a few nights ago.
This report came from a person who grew up where kiwi were fairly common and she has heard them here in Pukawa before. From time to  time we receive reports of kiwi calls, I spoke to one home owner who remembers seeing kiwi walking through his section in the very early days of development.  Pukawa has long been considered a corridor for kiwi, we just have to keep trying to make a safe environment so they will stay. There is a lot of leaf litter in the bush now which should make ideal feeding for kiwi, we can only keep hoping.
We were told that the best way to identify kiwi call is to count the number of times it repeats  the same notes, ten to fifteen times and you can be confident you heard a kiwi.
