New Zealand Mirror No. 1 - New Zealand Birds / Rotorua's Natural Heat
Short Film (Full Length) – 1950
The curator of the farm is a resourceful man, and has made an artificial leg for his patient. It’s a bamboo tube complete with rubber joint, and packed with cotton wool. The kiwi finds his peg leg helpful, and it certainly widens his range in worm hunting.– A limping kiwi gets help after losing a leg in a possum trap
Few birds are tamer than the tūī.– The narrator describes one of the birds at Kāpiti Island bird sanctuary
