Weka are sturdy brown birds, about the size of a chicken.

The Buff Weka ( Gallirallus australis hectori ) formerly inhabited the eastern districts of the South Island but is now confined to Chatham Island and Pitt Island to which it was introduced in the early 1900s, and where they are widely hunted and eaten, being considered ' introduced '.

Weka are classed as a vulnerable species.

Weka are problematic in conservation ; some subspecies are threatened, but have been a problem to other threatened wildlife on offshore islands, especially when introduced to an island that they would not naturally inhabit.

Weka are unable to withstand the current pressures faced in both the North Island and South Island.

Weka populations can persist in highly modified habitats, but they have disappeared from huge areas of their former range, suggesting that they can adapt to a wide range of conditions but are particularly vulnerable to threats.

Predation by ferrets, cats and dogs are a threat to adult Weka ; stoats and ferrets are a threat to chicks ; stoats and rats are a threat to eggs.

Pest control operations sometimes kill Weka, as they have ground foraging habits vulnerable to poison baits, and traps are laid in a way that Weka can reach.

Weka are significant to some Māori iwi who admire their curiosity and feisty, bold personality, traits which have led to them being relatively easy to catch.

Tales of Weka stealing shiny items and bags of sugar are part of New Zealand folklore.

Other wagons include examples of stock wagons, several vans including two representatives of the Z class ' roadsider ' vans, tank wagons, and eight Y < sup > B </ sup >/ Y < sup > C </ sup > ballast wagons, which are kept in working order for track maintenance duties through the Weka Pass.

An assortment of birds found in the North Island are present at the National Park except for the Weka.

Early European explorers and settlers frequently encountered and utilised Weka ; they were called " bush hens ".

This meant that all the ecological niches occupied by mammals elsewhere were occupied by either insects or birds, leading to an unusually large number of flightless birds, including the Kiwi, the Weka, the Moa, and the Kakapo.

However, it is nominally part of the WPR fleet, and is used to get large machinery up into the Weka Pass.

Where the Weka is relatively common, their furtive curiosity leads them to search around houses and camps for food scraps, or anything unfamiliar and transportable.

Ferrymead Railway and Diesel Traction Group locomotives and carriages have participated in each of these steam-based festivals, held on the Weka Pass Railway, except for the 2003 event.

While DG 2451 was cut up in 1990 by Sims Pacific Metal, the hulk of DG 2376 was sold to Weka Pass for spare parts.

The town has many landmarks including Kapiti College, in which Peter Jackson ( New Zealand Filmmaker ) and Christian Cullen ( Rugby Union Footballer ) received their education, St. Mark's Church, the vast sandy beach ( popular for walks, fishing and people on holiday ), The Raumati Beach Shopping Village, Kapiti Island and Weka Park.

Grianne's only hope for survival lies in the Straken Lord's former minion, Weka Dart.

The Stewart Island Weka ( Gallirallus australis scotti ) is smaller than the other subspecies and, like the Western Weka, has two colour phases ; a chestnut form-similar to the chestnut-phase Western Weka-and a black phase which is not as dark as the black Western Weka.

The Weka or woodhen ( Gallirallus australis ) is a flightless bird species of the rail family.

Weka usually lay eggs between August and January ; both sexes help to incubate.

Weka have sturdy legs and reduced wings.

The common name Weka is a Māori word.

Johann Georg Wagler's suggestion of the Ocydromus genus in 1830 to describe each Weka as a species was generally adopted.

However, Weka were later decided as a single species in the Gallirallus genus with four subspecies.

The North Island Weka ( Gallirallus australis greyi ) is represented by original populations in Northland and Poverty Bay, and by liberations elsewhere from that stock.

The Western Weka ( Gallirallus australis australis ) is found mainly in the northern and western regions of the South Island from Nelson to Fiordland.

Distinguished by dark red-brown and black streaking on the breast, the Western Weka has two distinct colour phases, that of the southernmost range showing a greater degree of black.

Weka occupy areas such as forests, sub-alpine grassland, sand dunes, rocky shores and modified semi-urban environments.

The breeding season varies, but when food is plentiful, Weka can raise up to four broods throughout the whole year.

On average, female Weka lay three creamy or pinkish eggs blotched with brown and mauve.

The Department of Conservation's Weka recovery plan, approved in 1999, aims to improve the conservation status of threatened Weka, clarify the status of data deficient Weka, maintain the non-threatened status of other Weka, and eventually restore all Weka to their traditional ranges as a significant component of the ecosystems.

But more important, and the thing which the casual traveler and the blind sojourner often do not see, is that these places and activities are often the settings in which Persians exercise their extraordinary aesthetic sensibilities.

Water, air, fruit, poetry, music, the human form -- these things are important to Persians, and they experience them with an intense and discriminating awareness.

When these fields are surveyed together, important patterns of relationship emerge indicating a vast community of reciprocal influence, a continuity of thought and expression including many traditions, primarily literary, religious, and philosophical, but frequently including contact with the fine arts and even, to some extent, with science.

The actual moments of contact are vitally important.

That fact is very clearly illustrated in the case of the many present-day intellectuals who were Communists or near-Communists in their youth and are now so extremely conservative ( or reactionary, as many would say ) that they can define no important political conviction that does not seem so far from even a centrist position as to make the distinction between Mr. Nixon and Mr. Khrushchev for them hardly worth noting.

Although the United States and the U.S.S.R. have been arguing whether there shall be four, five or six top assistants, the most important element in the situation is not the number of deputies but the manner in which these deputies are to do their work.

It should be noted that there are other and equally important reasons for establishing meaningful intergovernmental reporting bases on a uniform fiscal year.

What is important here is that many of the cities and towns recognize the need for improved fiscal practices and are taking the initiative to obtain them.
