You have to wonder about the evolutionary forces that led to the creation of #FlightlessBirds. Did their ancestors just collectively decide that flying was too much fun?

“Hey Darryl, a few of us thought we’d fly over to that hilltop and snack on some beaut seeds and nuts. You wanna join us?”

“Yeah, thanks Trevor, I’ll just walk if it’s all the same to you mate.”

Our curious and cheeky weka look a bit like kiwis but hang out in the garden in the early morning and late afternoon. This one was walking around our chairs and checking that the beer bottle tops were not food #KawauKritter #Kawau #NZBirds #FlightlessBirds
