See a kiwi but dont expect to much

anonymous said... the experience itself was ok and the explainations are good. so currently they dont breed any eggs thats why the breeding facilities are empty. However there are 3 young kiwis currently taken care of. (it would be nice if they had informations about this on there websites to be fully transparent what you are paying into) if you want to see them not sleeping it would be recommended not to choose the 4pm tour. i mean they were moving a bit and you could take pictures with red light lamps but you basically see a furry little rolled up ball with a beak.. eventually. I would love to known those details before hand because my priority was to take pictures of a kiwi. (the support for the cause is just additionally :) ) Do note that you cannot use a tripod since it is prohibited to lay stuff on the ground (due to sanatizing issues). This is also why you are giving some protections for your shoes. I would love to see that they sell/give you additional 3 "gloves" for your tripod to make the pictures more stable.. even including a additional charge. (focussing in this environment is tough so consider cranking up your iso... and it does not help that the glass is highly reflective and the wristbands are light green). This beeing said the presentation was good and they rising questions were answered to the full extend. (the tour also consist partly of a preproduced video to show the whole process of taking care of the kiwis from egg to grown ups)
