Liz kiwi worker

After Liz went to school she studied at Otago University.
She has worked with scientists on truffles (they are like mushrooms) and has been catching stoats to study their movements.

Now she works with the rowi team. 

Operation Nest Egg

An incubator at Willowbank

In Operation Nest Egg we collect kiwi eggs and take them to Willowbank in Christchurch to hatch in the incubator.

Then the chicks go to an island free of predators.
When they are 1 kg they can look after themselves and they are put back into the Okarito Kiwi Sanctuary.

Kiwi display, kiwi tracks in the sand, skull of a kiwi

On holiday in Stewart Island I found kiwi tracks in the sand, magic! There are lots of kiwi there.

In Invercargill at the museum there was this beautiful display of kiwi and a this skull of a kiwi beak.

Can you draw what you think a kiwi print would look like on paper.
