The Morepork is the only living native owl species of New Zealand. This bird had over 20 names, but many come from the sounds that it makes. Some biologists have the Boobook split off as a separate species, but that’s a recent change.

This little guy is from the South Island Wildlife Hospital in Christchurch, NZ.
