camp cameo 2

The Takahe has a very weird colour; some places green and some places blue.

It is fat with rough feathers. The bright red beak has brown spots from scraping it on stones.

 It is not as graceful as a pukeko but its legs are like they are pointing their toes before they take a step while wandering free.

Moving like a turkey, they bob along moving their necks every time they step.

You might think they are common but they are really rare.

There is only 3 on the north end ... Mum / Dad / Baby
