Takahes usually eat 15.5 kg a day. They like to eat tussock seeds, and other kinds of seeds when it’s available. In winter when there is not much seeds, they go the forest for shelter and mainly eat starchy rhizomes from green fern.
Takahes have green and blue feathers for it’s back. Red feet which are very strong. Takahes have massive bill to crack seeds. Takahes are really strong.
