Kiwi feathers shed overseas shipped back to NZ for repatriation

Checkpoint

A flutter of kiwi feathers will soon be winging its way back to Aotearoa. There's 65 of the birds living at 18 international zoos or aquariums and the feathers they naturally shed are collected for repatriation. The feathers have got as far as Washington DC, but will soon be heading back to their whenua by the end of the year. Save the Kiwi has been involved in the effort and it's CEO, Michelle Impey spoke to Lisa Owen.
