A takahē pops up from behind harakeke (flax) flowers to shyly show off his iridescent plumage. Takahē are one of the most endangered birds in the world and were once thought extinct until a small remnant population was found in the wilds of the Murchison mountains in 1948. There are now over 350 individuals and a growing population thanks to intensive conservation efforts. As well as the Murchison population, takahē are also found on predator-free offshore islands and fenced mainland sanctuaries.

l love this print. The flowers of the harakeke match with the takahe's beak and this draws you into the picture and the wonderful plummage of the takahe. The print has pride of place next to my red leather chair and I smile everytime I see it. Ordered on a Monday, it arrived the next day. Fantastic service.
You've made my day Vanessa! Thank you so much for your kind review
