Lovingly hand-crafted by Justine Palmer of Taupō, each of these manu/birds is unique and unlike anything else; Justine's creativity and distinctive style make these extremely eye-catching.
This bird is a tīeke, or saddleback. The markings that give it its English name are easily visible across the back of this sculpture, along with its signature orange wattles. This species is one of the loudest that occupies Zealandia, with its laugh-like call echoing far and wide through the sanctuary.
