Nēnē (Hawaiian) Geese
The Nēnē, or Hawaiian goose, is Hawaii's state bird and one of its most iconic wildlife species. Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, this medium-sized goose is known for its distinctive buff-coloured cheeks and black head. The Nēnē inhabits a variety of habitats, from coastal dunes to volcanic slopes. Once nearly extinct in the mid-20th century, conservation efforts have helped its population rebound to around 3,000 individuals. Despite this success, the Nēnē remains vulnerable due to habitat loss, predation by introduced species, and human activities. Ongoing conservation measures are crucial to ensuring its continued survival.

Black Swan
Black swans are elegant, hardy waterfowl that adapt well to managed ponds and lakes. Native to Australia, they thrive in temperate climates and make striking additions to wildfowl collections. A secure water source with surrounding grazing areas is essential. In captivity, their diet should consist mainly of short grasses and quality waterfowl pellets to maintain good condition. Black swans often breed readily, forming strong pairs and nesting on mounds near water. Breeding typically occurs in spring and autumn, with clutches of 4–7 eggs and both parents sharing incubation duties. With proper care and space, they can thrive and reproduce successfully.
