A once-extinct bird has laid eggs in the wild for the first time in nearly 40 years. After returning to the wild in 2024, the endangered Sihek bird is now laying wild eggs in its new Hawaii home.

In a video from New Zealand’s Department of Conservation (DOC), a small egg that looks a bit like a hen’s egg pops out of its neck. The footage was captured by DOC Ranger Lisa Flanagan, who has been looking after this population of snails for over 12 years.
