Whio, Blue Duck Needlepoint Kit

Blue Duck/ Whio are a taonga (treasured) species that Māori have a strong cultural, spiritual, and historic connection with. Their name in Te Reo Māori is Whio in the North Island, or Ko Whio Whio in the South Island, which depicts the call of the male bird. Whio are believed to be an ancient species of waterfowl that appeared at a very early stage in evolutionary history. Their isolation in New Zealand has resulted in unique anatomical and behavioural features. It features alongside Kate Sheppard on the New Zealand $10 note. The Blue Duck is a river specialist, and is one of the few waterfowl species that live year round on fast-flowing rivers. They are a key indicator of healthy rivers and streams. The more breeding pairs of Blue Duck present, the healthier the river. Blue Duck are found nowhere else in the world, and are rarer than some species of kiwi.
