The Weka, or Gallirallus australis, is a distinctive and flightless bird native to New Zealand. Recognizable by its robust build and mottled brown feathers, the Weka is often seen foraging in forest undergrowth, grasslands, and wetlands. Known for its curious and bold nature, this ground-dwelling bird uses its strong legs and long beak to search for insects, seeds, and small invertebrates.

The Weka is a versatile and adaptable species, thriving in a variety of habitats across New Zealand. It is celebrated for its energetic personality and distinctive calls. In Māori culture, the Weka is appreciated for its resourcefulness and tenacity.
