Kiwi Kids News- Kiwi Chick Hatches From Bad Egg

Kiwi Chick Hatches From Bad Egg

On October 20th, 2016, a Department of Conservation worker has found an egg with a massive hole in it's shell. They found this egg in Paraninihi, in north Taranaki but then they took to Rainbow springs in Rotorua. In Rainbow Springs, they used the shell of another egg and covered the hole with it. Then they put masking tape to hold it in place. After 11 days the egg hatched and it was named Fissure.

I really enjoyed this topic because the kiwi was saved by Rainbow Springs and I hope that all the kiwis are save in New Zealand.

Around 10,000 people have gone to other shelters for safety while the Southern coastal areas have been blocked from the rest of the country because the bridge linking the area has collapsed.
Reporters have also said that the hospitals are overcrowded and shortages of fresh water while the people describe the hurricane as "catastrophic"

Late on Friday, Matthew became a furious Category Five, but then dropped down to a Category Three. The storm has been making it's way to the Caribbean so they alerted the people to stock up on supplies. This is a picture of how it started:
