New painting. Hihi or stitchbird. Been putting this off for a while because the plumage on this bird is so complex and unique. I’ve been lucky enough to see in the wild on Tiritiri Matangi Is. Acrylic on block mounted canvas. #nzbirds #newzealandbirds #hihi #stitchbird

It is great to hear that there were 59 Hihi | Stitch birds successfully raised and released in Shakespeare Regional park this year (Source: Shakespear Volunteers at the Hihi feeder yesterday morning).

We found that male hihi recombine more. Heterochiasmy in the hihi is relatively high and seem to be driven by micro-chromosomes. Enrichment of genes in regions of extreme heterochiasmy suggests that it could have functional implications. #heterochiasmy #birds #hihi #stitchbird
