Make a Kiwi Burrow

Nature PlayEcosystems and HabitatsNative Birds
Written By Kim Manunui

Watch this VIDEO of Ruud Kleinpaste talking about kiwi habitats.

Then have a go at making your own kiwi burrow!  What will you need to make it?  Have you got shelter?  Are there things around you that you could eat? Where would you get water from if you were a kiwi living in your burrow?  Can you make an entrance to your burrow and disguise it?  Have you got a nice soft nest to sit on inside your burrow?  You might need to collect leaves and sticks to build your kiwi home.  Have fun!

Extra challenge:  Take action and get involved in helping New Zealand become predator free!  If you would like to help protect our native birds, like kiwi, find out if there is a trapline near you that you could volunteer to help with.  Or, you could get a trap to set up in your backyard. Everything that you need to know can be found on the Predator Free New Zealand website.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
