But this week, the square has been muted in remembrance and hope.

In an act of protest against a civil conflict that has raged for more than 50 years, the plaza was covered in a massive white shroud bearing the names of the war’s many victims.

The egg was found by a Department of Conservation worker, who brought it to the Rainbow Springs Nature Park at Rotorua. "The shell was broken through to the egg's internal membrane, splitting it so the membrane had collapsed on top of the chick, which is very dangerous," Ms Travers tells Newshub.
