Monitoring via transmitters also meant conservationists did not have to physically check until later on, Portier said. “We don’t have to go close to the birds during incubation period and they are not disturbed.” The male birds, Myagi and Spencer, have been incubating the eggs for 25 days and six days respectively. Kiwi will normally incubate eggs between 70-80 days. The birds were released after heavy trapping program over the past three-to-four years by Taranaki Mounga and Kiwi Ranges Conservation Trust (KRCT). Without the trapping programme the birds, bred at Rotokare Scenic Trust, would not have been released, Portier said.
