Up close and personal

People got to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Sirocco the kakapo when he visited Orokonui Ecosanctuary in Dunedin during September 2011.

From Saturday 3 to Monday 26 September 2011 Sirocco fans had a chance to "get up close and personal" with the 'global media star' and nocturnal national treasure - one of only 129 kakapo in the world.
