@idzie the story behind their rediscovery 75 years ago is epic too, in case you haven't heard it, as well as continuing conservation efforts.

@va2lam oh I'll look it up

@idzie anyway you have to go to some pretty specific places to see them, but if you're in the right place, they just come by for their evening stroll... https://www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/takahe-recovery-programme/

Once considered extinct, the story of the takahē is truly unique. Although their numbers are growing, there is still a lot of work to do.

@va2lam thanks for the link!! It seems unlikely, but maybe someday I'll get to Aotearoa to see the birds... :)
