Paora Haitana concerned at treatment of namesake kiwi at Miami Zoo

Disturbing footage has emerged of a "hands on" kiwi experience at Miami Zoo - where visitors have likened the bird to a puppy.
In the video, the brown kiwi is on display in a fully lit room, with no greenery to mimic its usual habitat, and zoo visitors gathered round - excitedly getting an up close experience with it.
The Department of Conservation has announced it is taking its concerns to the zoo, over how the bird is being treated.
The kiwi is called Paora, named after iwi leader and enviromentalist Paora Haitana.
He travelled to Miami for its unveiling there, and has told Checkpoint it was never meant to be handled like a pet in broad daylight. As Louise Ternouth reports, the viral video has kiwi experts worried about its welfare.
