Wild South Volume 8
Award-winning, international filmmaker NHNZ has enthralled millions of viewers for more than three decades with their documentaries.
In collaboration with TVNZ, NHNZ now makes their highly acclaimed Wild South programmes available on DVD for the very first time.
KAKAPO - NIGHT PARROT
The Kakapo - New Zealands idiosyncratic parrot, with a face like an
owl, and a call that booms across the forest floor - is battling
extinction as its prehistoric predator-free home is invaded. This
retiring, nocturnal bird tests the filmmakers ingenuity as they
attempt to capture on film its unique and endangered existence.
THE BLACK STILT - A BIRD SURROUNDED BY
CHANGE
Every year the rare Black Stilts of the McKenzie Country have a
fight on their hands when the Pied Stilts arrive to nest, compete
for food and interbreed. The Black Stilts always win the battle but
without intervention they may soon be losing the war.
THE BLACK ROBIN - A CHATHAM ISLAND STORY
In the mid 1970s a small black New Zealand bird made headlines
around the world. It had the dubious distinction of being the
rarest of all rare birds - there were just five of them left. After
a decade of tremendous effort by the New Zealand's Wildlife Service
Robin Project, Black Robin numbers have increased ten-fold. This is
the story of a very narrow escape from extinction; guaranteed to
leave you with a lump in your throat.
