Mitre 10 Takahē Rescue: Burwood -- Motutapu Transfer

Saving Takahē is a big job! With only about 260 birds left, they're critically endangered; that means the next step could be extinction. We want to save this unique part of New Zealand so partner with the Department of Conservation on the Takahē Recovery Programme.

A big part of the programme involves carefully managing the population and moving birds around to predator free sites and in November 2012 one of the biggest transfers occurred with nine birds travelling the length of the country in one day to reach a safe new home.

Check out this video to follow their journey and to find out more about takahē rescue efforts.
