Is Greg the one with the missing toe? Met that one when we were planting native bush there years ago. He stole food, calmly walking among the cub-scouts snatching beakfuls from the inattentive.. Impressive bird, getting on for as big as some domestic turkeys.
Tiritiri Matangi island was once cleared and farmed, but is being returned to its native-bush state. Perhaps in 400 years there will be mature Kauri trees there.
