Sparky the Brown Kiwi feeding at Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Center

Sparky at the Recovery Center, he has taken on the role of Kiwi ambassador travelling around schools and other public forums to promote wildlife conservation. Sparky is another one legged kiwi who lives at the Whangarei Native Bird Recovery Centre. He came to the Centre as a young bird in 2002, his leg injury was also caused by a "Gin trap" that had been set on the ground to trap possums. See more at http://www.nbr.org.nz/

No, he lost his leg, I think he got hit by a car?

He's probing for food, mainly worms.

Ok, that's pretty cute. Only kiwis in British Columbia are in the fruit section in the grocery store.
