Description

Although ungainly in the air, pukeko are a common sight poking around near the swamps where they make their homes. Did you know that a female pukeko will choose the best-looking nest in which to lay her eggs even if there are already eggs in it? This fascinating look at our swamphen's lifestyle and habits is accompanied by wonderful photographs and illustrations.
