- Regional councillors Kathy White and Clyde Graf, with companion Hamish Parker, visited Stewart Island in July 2015, in search of kiwi. "We found a lot of birds, including robins, tomtits, kereru, kaka, bellbirds, tui, and even white-tailed deer, but the jewel in the crown was the kiwi.
During a quiz night at Stewart Island Backpackers on our last night in Oban, our quiz companions from DoC told us that there are now approximately 20,000 kiwi on Stewart Island. This is the biggest kiwi population in New Zealand."
Up until now, the Department of Conservation has been undertaking ground-based predator control on various parts of the island - primarily trapping and using bait bags on trees. A preliminary survey of Stewart Islanders in 2014 confirmed that although a lot of people are keen on eradicating predators, the vast majority support ground control methods only, and only a tiny number support aerial poisoning...rakiura.weebly....

Oh my God, that female call is terrifying.
Awesome on Stewart Island as I watch this . The Island is everything the video shows great experience.We have not seen kiwi yet it is rewarding to know they are there and doing well
Okay so here's the male, sounds winy. Female sounds like a fucking terrifying dinosaur that wants to devour my soul.
A very interesting and well made video. Thank you to all concerned.
There ain't no problem with your eyes. Those shot's of those birds and of that deer, were awesome! Tell Kathy she should get out in the bush more - so she can figure out what she needs, she looked ill prepared.
Why aren't you using the red light, the kiwi looks pretty scared off by the light used in the video?
Lol guess know told her the traditional foot wear is gumboots 😆
That's lovely, Kiwi bird song! I just ate your fruit. Beautiful scenery/place. Awesome, breathtaking video!... So, how exactly is the bird related to the fruit? Cause they sort of look similar.
They’re not at all, the fruit was just called that for some reason.
Good Lord the female sound like Godzilla.. Bugga!!

I thought the kiwi was supposed to be extinct.
