@predatorfreenz: There usually isn't just one Māori name for a species; it varies by dialect or location. There are 19 names for the pīwakawaka (fantail) and 34 for the toutouwai (robin)! The Predator Free New Zealand Trust generally uses Taranaki Whānui dialect, as we are based in Te Whanganui a Tara (Wellington)
