Tiri Takehe

The takehe is one of the rarest birds in the world. They were not spotted for 60 years and were thought to be extinct, until a small group was found in a remote part of Fiordland. Today, there are only about 250 in the whole world, and I saw six in a few hours on Tiritiri Matangi. They seem like sort of a slow-witted blue chicken.
