Can you see the egg in the burrow?

After we lift out an egg, we place a cross on top of it with a pencil. It must sit in the carrier the same way it did in the burrow. Can you guess why?

Lifting an egg

Here is Warren the kiwi worker.











Sometimes the egg can be found in a deep burrow, in the trunk of a big tree.
For this egg we had to track exactly where the kiwi was sitting, then dig a hatch to get it out.
Look at Warrens face. How do you think he is feeling?
