Rare White-Feathered Kiwi Chick Born in Rotorua

A kiwi chick born at Rainbow Springs Nature Park in Rotorua, New Zealand, has been named Bloomers because of the white feathers growing around one of his legs.

The park announced the birth of the rare chick, with his multi-coloured plumage, and showcased it in a video published on October 10.
