I suspect this is a grey duckling based on the colouration of its apparent parents, Although it could easily be a Mallard.

I have been watching this large family of ducklings slowly grow up over the previous few weeks. Most have so far survived,

Its fluffy duckling weathers have started to be replaced with more adult plumage.

Guessing cockatoo as there was a flock roosting in mature kauri above the location where the eggs shells were found. The eggs seemed too large for other forest birds in this area.
