The bird was struck between Whanganui and Raetihi on 20 November last year.
The driver reported the incident to the Department of Conservation and transported the injured bird to Wildbase Hospital, Tāwharau Ora Massey University where the young male was found to have respiratory issues and a fractured pelvis.
DOC Biodiversity Ranger Kelly Brider says the bird was alert and feisty throughout his recovery.
“We think that liveliness helped him to power through his rehabilitation, he was well and truly ready to go home!”
“We want to acknowledge the driver for doing the right thing, even going above and beyond to transport the kiwi to safety herself.
“We are also grateful for the continued work of Wildbase Hospital staff caring for and rehabilitating our special species.”
The kiwi, gifted the name ‘Tairei’ by members of hapū Whaikiterangi, was released on 10 January away from the road in the area he was found, with multiple generations of whānau present.
Kuia Karina Williams says the name is linked to the land.
“We gifted him the whānau name Tairei, which goes back to our great, great grandfather, I know our tūpuna will watch over him.”
Kelly says the bird was found near a wetland and retired farmland – bushy parts of Ātihau Whanganui Incorporation land.
“They have predator control in some areas and are increasing their efforts. It all works toward creating a safe space for kiwi to thrive.”
Brown kiwi are listed as Not Threatened – Conservation Dependent, with numbers in Whanganui National Park and surrounding areas projected to grow by 1000 in the next few years.
“This success is thanks to landscape-scale predator control and community trapping programmes, along with increasing efforts by private landowners,” says Kelly.
“Tairei is a reminder that we are lucky to share this part of Aotearoa with these special birds and to take care and watch out for kiwi when driving.”
Anyone coming across an injured or killed kiwi should report it to 0800 DOC HOT (0800 362 468).

A summer of work to complete much-needed maintenance on State Highway 29 Kaimai Range will see night closures over 2 weeks next month, from Sunday 9 February to the morning of Friday 14 February (5 nights) and from Sunday 16 February to the morning of Friday 21 February (5 nights), between 8pm and 4.30am each night.
The closures are needed to undertake asphalt renewals and other routine maintenance activities such as clearing drains, sign maintenance and road marking. Please note the previously advised SH29 closure was for 1 week, an extra week has been added to complete additional maintenance while the road is closed, while also allowing for the possibility of bad weather. If the work is completed before the full two weeks is up, then the road will reopen early.
During the day SH29 will be open but may be under a temporary speed restriction.
This is one of a number of night closures for SH29 for vital maintenance work on this busy route linking Waikato with the Bay of Plenty. Due to the nature of the road over the Kaimai Range, plus the heavy traffic volumes due to its importance as part of the ‘Golden Triangle’, full closures are the most efficient and effective way to get important maintenance work done,
More information about the work happening on SH29 over the summer:
Further closures are planned for April, the exact dates will be shared when they have been confirmed.
The detours for this closure are significant and add considerable time to journeys. People are encouraged to check the NZTA Journey Planner and allow extra time for their journey, or if possible, delay travel over SH29 on these nights.

The detour routes are:
The closure points on the western (Waikato) side are at the SH29/24 and SH29/28 intersections and on the eastern (BOP) side at the SH29/Cambridge Road intersection. Emergency services will have access at all times, and residents can access their property from the relevant side of the closure.
