Kokako / Кокако / Callaeas wilsoni

This is some footage I took of Kahurangi, a hand-reared kōkako living at the Pukaha Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre in New Zealand. I had the privilege of hanging out with her in her enclosure - she’s too tame and dependent on humans to fly free. It gave me an incredible opportunity to get close to a bird most New Zealanders will never even hear, let alone see.
