I have a new job now. I am responsible for feeding Uncle Aka his pellets every day. I also have to wash out his water trough and put new water in every few days.
Uncle Aka is a Takahe. I love Uncle Aka. He is in a special pen to keep him safe from the bullies. The bullies are other Takahe because Uncle Aka has a lame leg and they pick on him. I feel sad about it.
Here are some photos of me taking care of him. He has really cool colours aye. He follows me like a puppy. It makes me laugh.

FINN!! You have a takahe friend. That is so cool. Max has a kea friend. I will write a blog about him now so you can see. Uncle Ake is lucky to have you all to keep him safe. Will his leg get better or will he be lame forever?
ReplyDeleteTakahe remind me of Pukekos, dad says silly things about Takahe that make my mum laugh. They are very pretty birds. You are lucky to be able to feed them.
