This Pukako is in a flap and for some reason running into flight. It does this because it is instinctive. I wasn’t that close to it. The image got blurred by the action.
They generally don’t fly with people around them but they can fly for long distances.
I wouldn’t recommend a Pukako to eat. It’s tough and very string. Like trying to eat leather. Dad shot a Pukako a long time ago at my sister’s place in the country.
Wish he didn’t.
