one Hot chick

Last weekend we had a rare opportunity to meet some rare Kakapo Chicks. All 6 chicks where on display, which is 5% of the entire Kakapo species!
The event was held at the wonderful Brook Sanctuary. The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary is a community-based initiative working to create a pest-free wildlife sanctuary close to Nelson, New Zealand.
