Join Māui’s flock on an engaging bird-watching safari led by storyteller Jeffrey Addison, where participants bring their own bird puppets and embark on a unique wildlife adventure. This interactive experience offers a chance to encounter a diverse collection of stuffed birds, listen to their authentic calls and songs, and learn about the natural habitats and conservation challenges these birds face, including the impact of taxidermy.
