Wow! Perfect pronunciation of Ruru!

[@NZPocketGuide]

Thanks mate! This is a rarity for us, we do struggle with Maori pronunciation usually :(

[@Mattmac-yc7qs]

Lol your eyes brows need saving if they are in danger great video guys love learning new things from you and watching an interesting video as well

[@NZPocketGuide]

Haha Thanks Matt! We've got plenty more coming up, we're planning to go see baby kiwi birds at Rainbow Springs before we leave Rotorua!

[@janices6136]

I lived in Rotorua for close on 45 years, It an amazing place with plenty to see and do. Hubby and I were ardent trout fishermen and Saturdays in the season would see us out on Lake Tarawera .

[@NZPocketGuide]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing Janice! Trout fishing is great on Lake Taupo too (nearby where we live now!)

[@janices6136]

@@NZPocketGuide I have fished on Lake Taupo too. In fact fly fish a 13 pound trout out of that Lake a few years ago now .

[@NZPocketGuide]

@@janices6136 Wow!

[@annawitter5161]

I really love birds and this was such a treat. Thank you! Just wish it was longer. My favourite is the owl

[@NZPocketGuide]

We never thought people would want our videos to be LONGER, haha. We struggle to fit everything into a few minutes. Glad you liked the video, the birds were amazing!

[@ruthholman4822]

Wingspan is great isn't it! I didn't get a chance to wear the glove as it was crowded that day, so many people!

[@NZPocketGuide]

It's amazing - it's a place that we'd definitely go back to. Shame you didn't get to wear the glove but that's a great excuse to go back :)

[@haeganjamieson7839]

The nz falcon is not the rarest bird in nz but it is the rarest bird of prey in nz

[@NZPocketGuide]

Thanks for the correction Haegan!

[@Petunia_0]
