Kākā rāua ko Kiwi Parure

Koinei tētahi o aku tuhinga tuatahi i tā mātau hui i tū ki Rotorua. I hoatunga mai e Kararaina rāua ko Brian tēnei pepa ki a mātau, ā, ko te mahi he tuhi i ngā kōrero mai i te tirohanga o ngā kararehe, ā, i roto i tēnei tuhinga ko Kākā rāua ko Kiwi Parure.

From the Kaka's perspective - what are these people doing here interfering with my life? There is the constant intrusion of humans on their habitat and their personal space, the tracking devices and the animals that are used to locate them.

Te tuhinga ...


"Keteketē, keteketē," te tangi a te Kākā. "Kiwi parure, kai kōna koe?" Kai runga a Kākā i tana rākau pirau. Kua hua kē ōna pīpī. Kua pakeke. Kua rere noa atu. "E Kiwi, kāti te whakaturi mai i a koe! Kai te mōhio tonu au kai te rongo mai o taringa koi," te kī atu a Kākā. "Kua keokeo katoa aku taringa i tō reo pararē e Kākā, waha papā," te ui atu a Kiwi parure.

"He take korero taku e nguturoa!" te korero a Kaka. Ka noho a Kaka ki te whakamarama atu i tana kaupapa ki a Kiwi. Kai reira a Kiwi e āta whakarongo ana, e mīharo ana ki ngā kōrero a Kākā. Kua putē ke ōna whatu kāpō. "E kī, he huruhuru hiriwa? He whatu whero? He pihi tōna? He pī, pī, pī tōna tangi?" "Ai, Kākā, kātahi rā ngā kōrero teka ko ēna!" Ka wherahia e Kākā ōna parihau, ka topa atu ki te hinau a Kiwi. "He pono tonu ōku kōrero, ngutu roa!

Tae mai ana taku huanga, ka kite koe. E! Ka kite o whatu kāpō na!" Te kī a Kākā.

Ka tae mai te huanga ā Kakā. Ā, nā te koi o ana taringa ka rongo a Kiwi i te huanga a Kākā e pī, pī, pī mai ana. Ka whakatata atu a ia, ka āhua kite i te huruhuru hiriwa e mau ana ki tōna tuara. Tūpono atu hoki ki te taura e mau ana ki tōna rekereke.

"Aue! Kua pā te ringa waewaerua ki tō huanga e Kākā!" te kōrero atu o Kiwi. "Kāore au i te mōhio haha tēra kai tōna tuara, engari anō tēnei e mau nei ki tōna rekereke, kua kite mea pēnei au!" Te whakamārama atu a Kiwi.

"Ae, na taku hoa, na Hineora au i kōrero mai. He waewaerua a ia. He uwha." I te rongohanga o Kākā i ngā kōrero a Kiwi, i tata taka hoki a ia mai i te peka e noho ra ia. Putē mai ana ōna whatu i ngā kōrero a Kiwi.

"Me haere pea au ki te kōrero ki tō hoa, ki a Hineora nē Kiwi?" te pātai atu a Kākā.
"Ehē Kākā. Kāre toku hoa e mōhio ki te kōrero Kākā!"
