Saving the Kiwis: One man's effort to save the national bird of New Zealand
August 2003
The Kiwi bird could soon become extinct on mainland New Zealand. But one man is determined to prevent this from happening.
Farmer David Wallace was horrified to learn that Kiwi chicks hatched in the wild only have a 5% chance of survival. He's on a mission to save his national bird and has built a 16 acre bird reserve on his land to protect them. Now he wants to turn the nearby mountain into a Kiwi sanctuary.

I wasn’t expecting you to reply this quickly, but thanks for doing so. I moved here to Auckland recently, and I’m really hoping kiwis don’t go extinct. I hope I may one day see one in the wild. In fact, I hope our future descendants will be able to enjoy the natural beauty of the world. We must preserve nature because once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Actually, Kiwi's are great with a melted blue cheese sauce with gravy. Unfortunately they are a small bird so not much meat on a single one. That is why you have to get at least 8 of them for a good meal. remember to simmer till the skin is browning. Save the Kiwi's awesome flavour!
