Wash and weigh the rowi egg



Here is Amy. Amy will take care of our the rowi eggs. This is the incubator at Willowbank.

Can you guess how long it might take for a rowi egg to hatch?

Hey this rowi egg is heading to Willowbank!

Amy and Mat work at Willowbank. I was lucky to go with them from Franz Base to Willowbank in the car.

We carefully looked after the eggs.

Willowbank is a great place to see a kiwi. I saw two kiwi foraging for worms with its bill.

After a night at Franz Josef

The eggs had a night in the Franz incubators. Would they be kept warm or cold? Why?

After that the eggs went back in the carrier and into the car.

What a long journey
Can you remember where they travel to? from Franz they go to--------
then to-----------and last of all--------!
