Takahe chicks thrive: Tiritiri Matangi Island

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

These new arrivals to Tiritiri Matangi Island are now one month old.

The Takahe chicks are growing quickly and thriving.

The feathered friends tend to stick close to the adults or hide under thicker vegetation.

But they are getting braver so some visitors may have the chance to spot them.

The feathered friends tend to stick close to the adults or hide under thicker vegetation.

But they are getting braver so some visitors may have the chance to spot them.

Visitors to the wildlife sanctuary north east of Auckland are asked to give the birds plenty of space and to avoid walking between adults and chicks.

A group of Greenwich Gardens residents are transporting their non-driving peers to medical appointments in exchange for a gold coin donation.

Resident Kevin Broadbent came up with the idea when he spotted three village courtesy cars and he rallied together a few willing drivers.

“I immediately thought what a fantastic service to be able to offer non-driving residents, " he said.

"As retirees we’re often looking for things to do, so it’s a way we can use our free time to help others and, while my wife and I are still happily driving, we know there may come a time when we may need this service, too.”

The drivers will take residents to their appointments, wait while they are being seen, and drive them back to the village.
