This bird is a New Zealand Falcon, a very rare & absolutely fearless predator. Very seldom seen in the wild, not necessarily because they are not there, but because they are aware & intelligent birds & will deliberately hide from you if they know you are there, & with acute vision & excellent hearing, they know you're there.
The Falcon is exclusively a killer, a Falcon will take every meal fresh.
This particular birds live at Wingspan in Rotorua, a facility dedicated to the preservation & breeding of these wonderful creatures. The aviaries are open to the public & there are flying displays every afternoon. Further information can be found at www.wingspan.co.nz.
