Hoki, the only kakapo reared in captivity, with her chief keeper Gideon Climo on Maud Island. The sole survivor of six chicks hatched on Codfish Island, Hoki was hand-reared at Auckland Zoo. At almost five years old, this precious female will be allowed to leave ‒ and return to ‒ her large pen later this year to socialise with other birds during the male booming season.
