Vote whio as the Forest & Bird ‘Bird of the Year’ 🦆 Let's help the blue duck soar to victory! The native whio is one of the rarest birds in Aotearoa. They have an unusual bill, forward-facing eyes like a human, and appear on our $10 note, but they’ve yet to win the ‘Bird of the Year’ title – let’s change that! We proudly support whio recovery efforts through the Whio Forever programme. Voting closes soon. Vote for whio here: www.birdoftheyear.org.nz #BirdOfTheYear | Genesis

We recently had two clutches of wild blue duck / whio eggs brought to us as part of DOC's WHIONE programme (Whio Operation Nest Egg). The first clutch of 4 hatched successfully 10 days ago and are being raised here with a smaller captive bred clutch from Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. Here they are enjoying a swim outside in the sun this morning (purple bands). The second wild clutch is due to hatch later this week. | The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust

"Releasing birds is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. Seeing birds you have seen develop from eggs all the way to this point, gives you a real sense of pride and accomplishment" says Olly Gooday, our Wildlife Keeper who attended the release. "When the whio were released they were initially whisked away by the strong current and I wondered if we had given them sufficient swimming lessons" - but their superior swimming ability is soon evident. | The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust

Kara, one of the blue duck / whio females within the captive breeding programme here, has been trained to sit up on her perch for easy assessment by her keepers. She loves mealworms and whilst they are a rare treat, she never hesitates to hop up on her perch and wait patiently for her snack! | The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust
