Te Hau
MALE| Hatched October 2021

Te Hau hatched in October 2021 at Wingspan in Rotorua to a falcon pair originally from the south island, Aroha and Hamden.
Te Hau came to the Kārearea Falcon Trust as a juvenile, initially to be trained by the previous Manager Diana Dobson as a new advocacy falcon after the loss of Fern, however he was not very confident up close to people.
Now an adult, Te Hau is going to join our restoration breeding programme and will be looking to pair up with a female in the 2025-2026 breeding season.
Te Hau was named by Keelan Walker via a Facebook competition. His name honors Te Hau, a tupuna of Rangitane, who was said to be the first person to bring kumara to Aotearoa. The name Te Hau simply translates to “the wind
