Sarah Rowe from the Whenuakite Kiwi Care Group visited Room 4 this morning to share her expert knowledge on the wonderful work the group do to eradicate predators on the Coromandel Peninsula to increase Kiwi numbers in the area. She bought along a Brown Kiwi to show the students, as well as a stoat, ferret and weasel, who are their main predators. She explained to the students how the Kiwi Care Group set trapping lines to catch the predators and how their hard work has paid off with Kiwi numbers increasing every year. Sarah shared some interesting facts about the Kiwi saying that its egg is 20% of its body weight and explained how it uses its long bill to dig for food under the ground.
