Moreporks, also known as the ruru or the native owl of New Zealand, are not extensively quantified in terms of population size. Estimates suggest that their numbers are stable in many areas, but precise figures can vary widely depending on habitat and environmental conditions. Conservation efforts are ongoing to monitor their populations and protect their habitats. For the most accurate and current information, local wildlife organizations or studies would be the best sources.

How do morepork fly
During the day, moreporks roost hidden in dense foliage or tree cavities to rest. At night, they are active hunters, using their keen hearing to locate prey such as insects, small mammals, and birds. Moreporks are territorial and may call to establish their presence and defend their space during the night.
Ruru (morepork) is an owl that is native to New Zealand.
Moreporks, also known as ruru or New Zealand owls, prefer to live in forests, woodlands, and rural areas with plenty of trees for roosting and nesting. They are nocturnal birds and are most active at night, hunting for insects and small mammals in the darkness.
Moreporks, or ruru, cannot blink in the traditional sense because their eyes are adapted for night vision and lack a nictitating membrane, which is a translucent third eyelid found in some animals. Instead, they keep their eyes moist with tears that are distributed across the surface of the eye. This adaptation allows them to maintain optimal vision in low light while reducing the need for blinking.
Moreporks, also known as ruru or New Zealand owls, primarily feed on insects such as beetles, moths, and weta. They may also hunt small vertebrates like mice, rats, and small birds, as well as feed on fruits and berries occasionally.
This small owl is spread across New Zealand and most of Australia. They feed on small creatures, wetas, moths, and small birds, with mice being (in New Zealand) no doubt a welcome dietary addition. These birds of Norfolk Island were under extinction threat, and a New Zealand male was introduced to the remaining female, and that population has thrived.
