Osedax 11 Mar 2024 I didn't know that Pateke were nocturnal! Do NZ zoos ever display them in nocturnal houses?
Cassidy Casuar 19 Sep 2025 @Osedax They are actually crepuscular rather than nocturnal. I have never heard of Pāteke being kept in nocturnal houses here; presumably they do fine with living and breeding in well-lit enclosures.

Cyathea 19 Sep 2025 @Osedax I've never heard of ducks in a nocturnal house. Even owls are rare there.
