Meri kirihimete/Merry Christmas from the team at South Island Wildlife Hospital. As summer is our peak season, the wildlife of Aotearoa doesn't care that it's the holidays so it's been a busy few weeks and Christmas Day was no exception. This Australasian crested grebe was found in a gutter at the side of the road 10 days ago. Pool time allows the pūteketeke to get a bit of physio for their legs as part of their rehab. #bird #pūteketeke #grebe #crestedgrebe #australasiancrestedgrebe | South Isla
