The blue duck – The Māori name is Whio – is a dark slate-grey with a chestnut-flecked breast and a paler bill and eye environment (you will find it on the $10 New Zealand note).
Endemic in New Zealand, nesting in hollow logs, small caves and other sheltered spots. It is a rare duck, holding territories on fast flowing mountain rivers. A powerful swimmer even in strong currents. It is a survivor in a challenging.
Yet the blue duck is friendly with a unique curiosity and work ethic. We take inspiration from our name sake and know that a combination of talent, ambition, curiosity, imagination, an eternal work ethic allows us to survive, question and challenge. Like the Whio!
We hope to do some good in its name.
