Extinct bird gets new prosthetic leg

In 2020, a stuffed female huia was stolen from a display at the Dannevirke Gallery of History during a robbery.

Although the person responsible was caught and the bird was returned, one of the huia's legs was missing. 

Thanks to help from Te Papa Tongarewa, Wētā Workshops and a 3D printer, the huia is now back on her perch next to her mate.
