Whio Forever

There's only a few thousand Whio, our Blue Duck, left in NZ. Genesis Energy and DOC are working together to make sure our rivers will have Whio, forever.

Still looking for a bird to support for #BirdoftheYear 2021? Look no further than the whio - they fly like a fighter jet, surf whitewater rapids, love our clean rivers, and can hold their breath for 90 seconds. Plus they're on our $10 note! Vote now: https://t.co/g0EOKNVmFr

@marcdaalder @Forest_and_Bird We're putting up our 'wing'! The whio is our endemic duck that doesn't quack (it whistles/growls), can fly like a fighter jet, surf whitewater rapids, hold its breath for 90 seconds and only lives in our cleanest rivers. Plus they're on our $10 note! #votewhio

Another tough break for Fiordland Whio this week. Floods have once more wiped out the nests of breeding pairs on the Arthur River.

Birds tweet, ducks quack but Whio are special they say their own name - Whio. Much like the fizzy drink Chi and also Matt Damon.
