5 Brown Kiwi realeased into wilderness

5 Brown Kiwi have been realeased into the predator free of Motutapu island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. One of these Kiwi is little  Motutapu is only 11 days old but he is up and running for survival. The company, Kiwi for Kiwis is proud to say that these Kiwi will adjust very quickly. Squirming and wiggling, Motutapu put up a fight as he was released to become one of Auckland's closest wild population of Kiwi. The Department of Conservation spent two decades ridding Motutapu Island of mice, rats, cats, rabbits, possums and wallabies so they can rebuil the population of Kiwi to a quality number.
