Burwood Takahe Visit

On the 29th of July some students and teachers went out to the Burwood Takahe unit. We saw and fed the Takahe.
Helen Dodson talking to us about the incubation room.
They keep the eggs in here till they are a certain age.

They keep the eggs in here to keep them safe.

This is where they keep the Takahe when they have hatch to dry them.
This is where they use to puppet feed the Takahe chicks.  They don't do this anymore.

The stoat proof fence. Also very electric.
