$3.00 Tokoeka gummed stamp.
Tokoeka has four geographically and genetically distinct forms: the critically threatened Haast, the mountain loving northern Fiordland and southern Fiordland, and the Rakiura (Stewart Island) which is unusual among kiwi for being active in daylight. Rakiura offspring also act as 'helpers' with incubation by sitting on the egg for a small part of the day.
