Māori welcomed pīpīwharauroa with the proverb “Ka tangi te wharauroa, ko ngā karere a Mahuru,” which means “If the shining cuckoo cries, it is the messenger of spring". For riroriro | grey warblers, spring may come with a surprise because these stripey-bellied cuckoos like to lay their eggs in riroriro nests, leaving the chick-raising duties to their hosts.

Restore Rodney East
Restore Rodney East is a community-led, umbrella organisation working to protect and restore the natural environment of the eastern Rodney area, north of Auckland. We connect, support, and empower local groups, landowners, and volunteers to take collective action for thriving ecosystems and resilient communities.
Restore Rodney East fosters all aspects of biodiversity, while also strengthening relationships with mana whenua and encouraging community-led kaitiakitanga. We coordinate shared resources, facilitate collaboration, and help secure funding and training so local initiatives can succeed.
By acting as the connective tissue between environmental projects, RRE ensures that individual efforts become part of a larger, more impactful network, creating a healthier environment for generations to come.
