Help protect ruru, by building them a house with these plans! The amazing resource shown below in the photos is kindly shared by our friends at Wingspan. To download and print it, please click HERE to go to the original source. Wingspan Bird of Prey Centre was established in Rotorua in 2002 and is now recognised as New Zealand’s leading conservation, education and research organisation for birds of prey. They are an awesome place, doing amazing things to protect our native birds of prey. Please check out their Website and if you are ever in Rotorua, be sure to visit them.

Did you know that we have four native raptors (birds of prey) in Aotearoa? Each of them play a special part in our ecosystem. Click HERE, or on the links below to learn more about them.

Karearea, the New Zealand Falcon specialises in chasing live prey.
Kahu, the Swamp Harrier is usually seen slowly quartering the landscape for food.
Ruru, the Morepork Owl feeds largely on insects within forested landscapes.
The Barn Owl occurs in open farmland habitat.

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.
