Morepork/Ruru

Ruru's are an intelligent specie of birds and always keep to themselves, they are proud of their ways and take pride throughout the night. They are committed as a guardian and that is why they make their loud noises.

A Ruru looks so adorable even though they are very small and are about the same size as your hand. They have a bright, neon yellow pair of eyes and have different shades of brown in their feathers with a white patch around their beaks.

A Ruru eats a lot of little insects and bugs such as Beetles, Weta, Moths, and spiders

sometimes they might even hunt for small animals like small birds, Rats, and Mice to eat.

Ruru's have three main predators that mainly attack during breeding season. Their predators are Stoats, Possums, and Rats because they either crack or eat their eggs.
