Birdcare Aotearoa – September 2022

website | facebook | instagram


Ninox novaeseelandiae (a.k.a ruru in Mฤori or morepork in English) is a species of owl native to New Zealand, closely related to the boobook in Australia.

Here’s one being swaddled in a towel like a burrito ๐ŸŒฏ so the carers can medicate him more easily, and then return him to his enclosure for a late afternoon food treat ๐Ÿ yum!
