On Tuesday we welcomed Aotearoa's second chick of last season back to our ngahere.
Our team lifted Pātītī as an egg, way back in 31/3/2026, it was then taken to Rotorua National Kiwi Hatchery, to hatch and grow before coming home.
Pātītī is the last of the chicks we had reared at the National Kiwi Hatchery Aotearoa and another kiwi chick that has benefitted from the generous patronage of Nico Blake's family who have supported our trust by covering the hatchery fees.
It is important we take this moment to thank Uncle Charlie and Uncle Mac of Ngati Hokopu who have led our special chick release ceremonies and gifted the names to these little manu.

A bottlenose dolphin who lived off the coast of Mahia Beach in New Zealand became a local celebrity in 2007 for the simple reason that he liked human company more than other dolphins.
⠀
His name was Moko. He was about a year old when he showed up alone near the Mahia Peninsula and decided to stay. He played with swimmers. He nudged surfboards. He stole tennis balls from kids. Locals adopted him as the town mascot.
⠀
Then on the morning of March 12, 2008, two pygmy s***m whales got stranded on Mahia Beach.
⠀
A mother and her year-old calf had swum into shore and gotten trapped between a sandbar and the beach. They could not find their way back out to open water. Department of Conservation officers and volunteer rescuers worked for over an hour to refloat them. The whales kept beaching themselves again. Every time the humans guided them toward open water, they panicked, turned, and ran aground.
⠀
The rescue team was running out of options. Mahia is in a remote part of New Zealand. The next step on the protocol sheet was euthanasia.
⠀
Then Moko arrived.
⠀
He swam straight up to the stranded whales. Witnesses described it as if he were speaking to them. Conservation officer Malcolm Smith later told reporters that the whales calmed down the second the dolphin appeared. The mother began to follow Moko. Her calf followed her.
⠀
Moko led them 200 yards along the shoreline, threaded them through a narrow channel between the sandbar and the open sea, and guided them out into deep water.
⠀
He turned around and swam back to play with the children on the beach.
⠀
The story made international news. The BBC, CNN, and TIME magazine all covered it. TIME later named Moko one of the Top 10 Heroic Animals of the year.
⠀
Moko died in 2010 at the age of four. He was found washed up on a small island near Tauranga. New Zealand built two monuments in his memory 🐬
⠀
The whales he saved have never been seen since.
