Little Owl / Ruru Nohinohi - a photo on Flickriver

Little Owl / Ruru Nohinohi

            Today I was pleased to see that the Little Owl has returned. Such gorgeous looking little characters. Little owls were introduced to New Zealand from Germany between 1906 and 1910, with the intention that they would help control the numbers of small introduced birds, which were becoming a pest in grain and fruit crops. With the exception of one pair released in Rotorua, all were liberated in the South Island. Little owls bob up and down if startled and have an undulating flight pattern.
