was pleasantly surprised to find this celebrity parasite in the woods! Leucochloridium are trematode flatworms famous for extending colorful, pulsating broodsacs into ambersnails’ eystalks so birds mistake them for tasty caterpillars and become the next host for the parasite

New in ME! In Aotearoa hihi, Vix Franks, @P_Brekke & Rose Thorogood show how natal environments created by parents predict offspring behaviour. Young associate with nestbox neighbours irrespective of relatedness and more social with inbred fathers LINK onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/me…

Our bumbling nocturnal parrot is easy to love, and easy to root for. But there are more native species in desperate need of conservation attention. rnz.co.nz/programmes/the…

Reading #Team_Hihi and reminiscing about my time in the forest with them. Very cool graphic novel about on-the-ground Hihi work. webtoons.com/en/canvas/team… #WEBTOON

There's despair from volunteers and conservationists as their hard-won gains over pest plants and animals stand to be lost in a tranche of budget cuts. rnz.co.nz/programmes/the…

Surrounded by hihi eggs 💛🖤🤍 The core nest structure remains the same, but the females tend to be different as they line the nest with various finds such as feathers and moss. #hihi #stitchbird #nzbirds #Tiritirimatangi #conservation #nzconservation #conservationmonitoring

Female hihi do most of the work raising the chicks, but occasionally the territorial male will come help out with some feeding. #hihi #stitchbird #bird #nzbirds #Tiritirimatangi #conservation #nzconservation #birdmonitoring #conservationmonitoring #monitoring #nzwildlife
