This is a weka, a flightless bird of NZ. They are cheeky birds and can be quite inquisitive.

A weka and her curious chick forage side by side at Lake Mahinapua - West Coast, NZ

These flightless birds are full of personality—and part of what makes New Zealand’s native wildlife so special.

A weka and her chick walk closely side by side across damp green grass. The adult weka has brown, speckled plumage and a long beak, while the fluffy chick is slightly darker and still downy, mimicking its parent's movements.

A very curious weka right in front of the lens. It sneaked around and under our car at Milford Sound, took a close look at my backpack on the ground, and seemed quite interested in me overall. Probably because I didn’t give it anything to eat, it moved on after a few minutes, heading off to the next potential 'food source'.

Square color image with a white frame showing a weka. The bird is not fully visible; its head is prominently centered and large in the frame. The beak, body, and background are blurred. Even the eyes and top of the head are not super sharp. The weka is looking directly into the camera. It has brown feathers, and below the head, a small part of its brown upper body and neck is visible. The light comes from the left, and the surroundings have a slight blue tint. The image gives a somewhat humorous impression, seeing the bird staring straight into the camera.

_The Evening Post_, 13 Sept 1923:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
The Department of Internal Affairs informed the Wellington Acclimatisation Society last evening… that… native birds, more particularly ground birds, such as kiwis and weka, were caught in traps set for opossums.… It was decided to advise the Department that there were no kiwis or wekas in the Wellington district.

_The Evening Post_, 24 Aug 1923:
LOCAL AND GENERAL
…
Writing of the Canterbury acclimatisers’ war upon the weka (whose alleged crime was the eating of pheasants’ eggs), Mr. J. S. Myers comments: “And this is the bird of which Guthrie-Smith writes … of its efficiency as a rat-destroyer… The days of cock-fighting are over, but crimes are still committed in the name of ‘Sport.’”

Just a few coin purses fused and cut.
Next up: fuse the labels then overlock the edges, then sew them up, and finally, trim, turn and press.
How many do you reckon are here?
And how many did you reckon I’ll get stitched in the next 24 hours (I’ll run out of zips for some…)?

Pattern pieces for my native birds coin purses sitting on my cutting table. There are quite a lot of them, all piled by size and design.

#MinIO and #Weka are in a bit of a snit over open source software licensing. Weka uses MinIO's object storage server and client in their product and are accused of not following the #AGPL license. Here's the latest from MinIO, which adds some real drama here... https://blog.min.io/our-response-to-wekas-post-and-clarifying-terminology/
