Robin boxes in the making

 

In term one we made robing boxes so some people could transfere them onto Mt Pirongia. The hardest thing was hot gluing the mesh over the breathing holes because the glue was hot. On a Sunday when it was the day to release the robins I turned up so I could help release them. All of the birds flew quickly out of the boxes into the forest. I think that this was a great idea because all of the robins that were on Mt Pirongia had died or the eggs had been eaten by rats and other predators.
