| Estimated to have been in New Zealand for approximately 1000 years, numbers of the native pukeko have increased as forest land has decreased. |
| 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. |
| Shared paternity among non-relatives is a result of an egalitarian mating system in a communally breeding bird, the Pukeko. |
| The deerstalkers were contracted by the government to carry out a cull of the common pukeko bird in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf. |
| Gorgeous woven korowai are adorned with feathers from kereru, peahen, pukeko and pheasant. |
| Habitat saturation appears to be playing a role in both the acorn woodpecker and pukeko systems. |
