TONY LUCAS WRITES WITH SOME POTENTIALLY EXCITING NEWS

Received a report the other day of the sighting of a suspected moa chick - no, not historical: it only happened three years ago.

Now don't get all excited - I know I was too.


I'm looking into the possibility of it being an escaped emu as there are a lot in this country now. I wish I had the funding to shoot down there and take a look but that's impossible. If it does turn out to be a chick this will be the first one seen in decades and may well prove a healthy breeding population of these birds DOES still exist.

Kindest of regards
Tony Lucas

    Love to see how this turns out. Any estimates of how large the adult of the chick would be, colouration or any other particulars of interest?
