Kiwis Increasing
Inquiries about kiwis made during a recent trip through the North Hokianga district reveal o ia t these birds are distributed all o$ er t^ie area where there is any 1 jus,!}' hdt for shelter. One settler said lie had fenced in. an area of unburnt biph and had kept it as a sanctuary fd. r kiwis, and today it was a real breeding ground for them. Another farmer observed that the birds were spreading out into the second growth of young shrubs and trees, in many of the steep gullies. Their only enemy, lie considered, was the dog which hunted them at every oppor-* tunity. The kiwi with its strong kick was more than a match for ILlie weasel.
