Manukura was the first white kiwi ever hatched in captivity in 2011. Although she was a North Island Brown Kiwi, she had a rare genetic trait and was born with white feathers, but her skin and eyes were normal colours. For the Māori people, Manukura held deep cultural significance. The name “Manukura” means “of chiefly status” in Māori, reflecting the bird’s importance. Her white feathers were seen as a sign of purity and a connection to the ancestors, bringing attention to the spiritual and cultural dimensions of wildlife conservation in New Zealand.
