Save the Kiwi Week - take the quiz!

FB LI post 2

Can you imagine an Aotearoa without kiwi? Neither can we – which is why we are proud supporters of Save the Kiwi Week, which runs October 10 – 16.

Aotearoa used to be home to millions of kiwi, yet today no more than 68,000 remain. Let’s work together to save this iconic species.

Here at the National Aquarium of New Zealand, we are home to two beautiful kiwi, who reside in our nocturnal habitat. They are cared for by our skilled keepers, who receive specialist training through a partnership with our friends at Save the Kiwi. As accredited handlers, our keepers are qualified in all things ‘kiwi’ from monitoring egg development and handling both chicks and adults safely, to administering medication where required.

Text to donate

Let’s work together to save this iconic taonga – text KIWI to 3663 to donate $3 to kiwi conservation.
