EastPack’s kiwi dad Aotearoa has been busy nesting again this season! Two of our lucky team members went along with Whakatāne Kiwi Trust to collect the eggs from his nest so they could be taken to the national hatchery for incubation and rearing. They were met with the cutest little surprise, a 5-day old kiwi chick! 😍
EastPack are proud to support the Whakatāne Kiwi Trust and all the hard work they do in protecting our national icon, the kiwi. 💪
