Is the weka endangered?
The flightless weka is a sturdy bird whose color varies depending on its local habitat, and can be found from different shades of brown to almost fully black. Famously feisty, this bird has been known to come right up to people. It often wields its surprisingly powerful beak like a hammer, to split seeds, announce its presence to a person getting too close, or to break open a tasty egg.
