The robin boxes



In Room7 we were chosen to produce the robin boxes that transported the robins from Pureroa forest park to our local mountain Mt. Pirongia. In groups we cut out feeding doors, inserted small branches for them to stand on and a little door for them to be released from. There were 31 robins that came from Pureroa park to Mt. Pirongia for repopulation because many years ago the robin becam extinct on our mountain from rats and stoats. I enjoyed doing this because we were helping bring the robin back to Mt Pirongia.
