Stitchbird
The Stitchbird is one of the other protected endemic species on Tiritiri Matangi. One of their distinctions is that they are the only bird species in the world known to mate face-to-face. The male knocks the female down, and when she lands on her back, he jumps on her and mates. This species has a small world population, and boxes have been placed around the island showing the intricate nests they build.
