SIROCCO

Last night the Stewart Island school kids and four year old Rugrats went to Ulva Island to see the famous Sirocco. His feathers are like camouflage: green, brown, white and black. He is a beautiful nocturnal parrot. At Ulva Sirocco stays in an enclosure. The Kakapo chomps on kumara, grapes, apple and nuts. Sirocco runs around with a sparkle in his eye. Sirocco was hand raised as a chick so he is imprinted (he thinks he’s a human).
