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 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!
much to liv's delight we are talking about another braided river bird this wiki! yeah that's right my skuxxes, it's the freaking wrybill, the ngutu pare!!! we love this bird so much and u better love her too cos otherwise piet will b mad XD
u think u know all the birds and then the matuku hūrepo/australasian bittern comes out and bites u in the bum and says hey guys pls talk about me! join piet and liv for a dive into the australasian bittern, a very elusive and sexy manu, in desperate need of our awhi and attention! whakarongo mai nei :-))

2026 is here and me and all my homies love native manu is back! strap in boiz cos it's a ripper today, te KERERŪ!!!!! listen in to hear about these PHAT aunties of the sky, their drunken antics and amazing co-parenting skills (dads could learn something from this)!
