The New Zealand Pukako (8/9)

List item
Approved

The young one is on the run doing what the parent didn’t have to tell it to do. It’s ducking for cover. Although the Pukakos are used to people in Western Springs Park, they are wary of people. Rightly so.

Large numbers of Pukakos can cause damage to pasture land because they also eat the roots of the grass.
