PRETTY POLLY: Two of the 26 kakapo chicks hand-reared in Invercargill this year after rimu fruit on Codfish Island (Whenua Hou), west of Stewart Island, failed to ripen. All the chicks have now been returned to the island.All the kakapo chicks brought to Invercargill three months ago have now returned home to Codfish Island (Whenua Hou).
The chicks were hand-raised in Invercargill because enough rimu fruit had ripened on the island, but the last four were ferried back to the island yesterdaymorning.
Kakapo recovery team leader Deidre Vercoe said the 90-day-old chicks would spend up to six weeks in temporary outdoor pens while they weaned off the hand-rearing food and on to natural vegetation.
Each would then be fitted with a tracking transmitter and slowly introduced into the wild in small groups around the island.

Spix MacawsLoro Parque's new Spix's macaw male (Cyanopsitta spixii) that arrived from Brazil in March is now out of quarantine and ready to mate. At present he has been housed in the Loro Parque Fundaciòn's Spix's macaw breeding centre in an enclosure next to three other females to get him used to his new environment.
As the three female Spix's are his sisters, it is hoped that he will choose one of the older females as his mate as they are mature enough to breed.
