Today it’s two years since we lost Sean. It’s hard to believe sometimes that he’s not here. Miss you old friend

Giraffe love to ruminate – but this doesn’t mean pondering a philosophical problem! Ruminating is the act carried out by specific animals to help them break down indigestible leaf matter into material that they can digest. #WorldGiraffeDay

@VirginAtlantic @VirginAtlantic still no response from your team - please can you respond to my complaint - thanks

We’re happy to share that two rare matuku-hūrepo (Australasian bittern) found severely emaciated and dehydrated in South Auckland last month are on the road to recovery at our #veterinary hospital. Read more - https://t.co/v5Q45SiyUP.

@VirginAtlantic flights AKL to LHR - price advertised on website is incorrect - advertised at lower price, go through to payment and authorise it, only for website to send us back to the beginning. Flight then $500 more. Same pattern if change date. No response to complaint…

[James Chatterton @jamsvet]

@VirginAtlantic We have already emailed our complaint 2d ago. I have now also sent this via the link you provided. Please reply asap. Thanks.

Kākāpō survive on three small, predator-free islands, depending heavily on rimu fruit to breed. In the past, kākāpō were abundant across AoNZ - but rimu doesn't occur in all forests. So what did the birds eat? Fossilised scat sheds light.

#kakapo chicks are hatching almost daily here on Anchor. Checking on Waa’s nest last night, here’s Waa-A3 (1 day old), and Waa-A4, which should hatch soon. I keep saying it, but am loving seeing eggs hatch in nests rather than incubators. #kakapo2022 #conservation

[Dr Andrew Digby @takapodigs]

A problem for male #kakapo in Fiordland. Where to boom from when your bowl is a puddle? #kakapo2022 #conservation #parrots

[James Chatterton @jamsvet]

@haveigotnews though not in a brewery !

[Dr Andrew Digby @takapodigs]

Great to see that Gulliver has mated on Whenua Hou: he’s of Fiordland descent, and is the only #kakapo with some MHC alleles (disease resistance genes). Also that Solstice is mating with a bird other than Stumpy - she may have more fertile eggs this time?! #kakapo2022

[Dr Andrew Digby @takapodigs]

Well, that’s a bit of a surprise. Spring rimu counts for the #kakapo islands are *massive: higher than they’ve ever been. This means pretty much all adult females will breed this summer - and maybe even on Te Kakahu/Chalky, our new breeding site. #conservation #parrots

@takapodigs Looking forward to 2022!

I’m going to go out on a limb and say “Let’s give it three weeks and see what happens” isn’t an amazing strategy
