Venture out of the studio and into Te Taiao to learn about the the manu of Aotearoa with Liv's homie, conservation worker and xxxtreme bird enthusiast, Piet Tuinder.
this wiki (and every wiki) we love the KIWI PUKUPUKU! listen to piet and liv kōrero about this special manu brought back from the brink of extinction !!
are u feeling a lil cheekiana, do you like rubber and assorted car parts, do you classify yourself as an extrovert? well do we have the perfect manu for you! this week e te whānau, we are talking about the kea! a special olive-coloured parrot now located only in te wai pounamu, and a tāonga species for kai tahu! whakarongo mai nei xo
this week whānau, piet and liv talk about the pūtangitangi/paradise shelduck! a very common manu but a very special one for piet, i mean what bird isn't special for piet at this point!
this week piet (birdman 3000) and liv (birdlover 3000) are talking about everyone's fav fatty boom bird, the takahē! the hide and seek champion of aotearoa and truly the biggest comeback story to come out of the murchison mountains.
i te wiki nei, piet and liv talk about the tauhou! the silvereye! a special native manu whose population is actually stable! yay for that rare trend! featuring words of wisdom from piet as always :--)
the moa might be extinct but it lives on in our collective psyche. liv is joined by the birdman 3000, piet tuinder, to kōrero about the moa; a special manu with much significance for tāngata whenua in aotearoa. wish the moa was still here so we could go to the pub and ratite out together x
i tēnei wiki, we are talking about the tākoketai/black petrel... also known as the tāiko! a very important manu to ngāti rehui-ngātiwai ki aotea that calls aotea/great barrier island and hauturu-o-toi/little barrier islands it's kāinga!
