The female hihi are building nests with speed as breeding activity ramps up on Tiritiri Matangi. Just in time to remind us to vote hihi/stitchbird for Bird of the Year. #teamhihi #BOTY2022 #BirdOfTheYear2022 #BirdoftheYear #hihi #stitchbird #TiritiriMatangi Forest & Bird

One of the perks of the job. The egg-citing reveal of a full clutch of 5 eggs. Hihi have been taking advantage of the good weather and laying a constant stream of eggs. 3 more days to #votehihi for #BOTY2022 #teamhihi #BOTY #nzconservation #conservation #TiritiriMatangi

Turning 10 days old means it's time for this mighty chick to get checked for mites. Hihi chicks need a few helping hands and watchful eyes to protect them from nest mites. We manage them closely to give them the best chance for survival, which is why we #votehihi for #BOTY2022

While hihi did not win the #BOTY2022 crown, the harakeke/flax have been giving hihi a different kind of crown. Congrats #pīwauwau/#rockwren on winning #birdoftheyear 👑 📸: Maree Johnston

These little wrigglers hatched today. I'm hoping the last egg hatches another sibling. If not, there are dedicated researchers conducting ongoing investigations into egg hatch failure. #hihi #stitchbird #research #conservationresearch #nzconservation #TiritiriMatangi

The hihi have been keeping the team on #TiritiriMatangi very busy. 63 chicks banded across 21 nests in 2 days. The females all got the memo to lay eggs at the same time it seems 🤔. #hihi #stitchbird #NZbirds #nzconservation #birdbanding #birdringing #monitoring #conservation
