Female Morepork owl out in some tree ferns, its mate was 20m away in another tree fern. Not normally out during the day I was checking out for potential nesting sites and ran into them by chance, New Zealand, October the 9th, 2026.

More pork? Yeah, classical bird name. Still better than redeyed bottlenose, I suppose.
More pork is it’s call.
It’s an onomatopoeia, but the weird colonial one.
Its native name is Ruru, which feels a bit more spot on.
