Along these roads are many walking tracks where native birds such as wood pigeons, bellbirds, weka and fantails can be seen and heard. |

I see a weka, the most common of the flightless ones, out by day whereas kiwis walk by night. |
|
We shifted inland a bit to a little farmlet and at that time there were weka everywhere in Gisborne. |
|
Ornithologists on an expedition to the Calayan Island in the Babuyan Islands in the Philippines have discovered a rare near-flightless rail, related to New Zealand's weka. |
|
Gangly yet beautifully coloured with its bright indigo feathers, glossy black wings, and vivid red beak and legs, the pukeko is a member of the same family as the weka. |
|
While they may look unremarkable, weka have a loud call that males and females sing as a duet. |
|
This rare lizard is a favourite prey of weka, which was one of the only original animals left on the island. |
|
For this reason it may be desirable to limit the population to a size below that which it might naturally reach, at least while other species that may be preyed upon by weka are being established. |

Complementing the book is a fully functional platform-independent open source Weka software for machine learning, available for free download. |
