Rare white kiwi hatched in New Zealand

[DearAbby]

New Zealand's national wildlife center is crowing about the appearance of Manukura, the only all-white kiwi chick among this year's large brood of 14.

The white bird hatched on May 1 at Pukaha Mount Bruce wildlife center, the highlight of the most successful breeding season since kiwi were reintroduced into the wild there in 2003, according to the New Zealand Department of Conservation.

1. Cool!

I'll have to send that link to my girlfriend, if she doesn't already know about it. I just checked the NZ Herald, but didn't see it on the front page. It's kind of hard to search on the word "kiwi" there and find anything pertinent ;)

2. A sign - God spared us the rapture and this is the sign. Wonder how it tastes?
