A large (chicken sized) flightless rail endemic to New Zealand. Intruduction of rats and weasels have greatly threated New Zealands flightless natives ( such as this, the Kiwi and the Kakapo) but the Weka seems to be doing somewhat better than the rest due to a higher reproductive rate. this is a wild bird that came out on the lawn to forage for whatever insects it could find.
