At first glance, a whimsical scene of anthropomorphic animals from a fairytale, but upon closer inspection the two sides are divided - On the isle the Native birds; Morepork (Ruru), Kakapo, NZ Falcon, Kea, Takahe, Saddleback, Kiwi and Pukeko gather to witness the arrival of these new arrivals. Battling the current within the small boat, are two rats, two mice, a weasel and a possum, discovering a new land and the plentiful bounty that it holds for them.

Left unchecked and with enough resources, populations grow to fill a space and if they continue to expand, those resources become depleted, scarce and the lives of the inhabitants come under threat.
