Manukura (1 May 2011 – 27 December 2020), a North Island brown kiwi, was the first pure white kiwi born in captivity. After Manukura's hatching two additional white birds were also born in captivity. Manukura was born in the Pukaha / Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre. The bird was born in May 2011 with a rare genetic condition that made it all white, instead of brown. She was named by Rangitāne leader, Mike Kawana; her name is the Māori word for "chiefly status." She died in December 2020 after having surgery to remove her ovaries and an unfertilised egg that she struggled to pass naturally.
