About
The Piwakawaka or Fantail is an inquisitive and lively bird. It will often follow you for some time through the bush, hovering for short spells in front of you, then posing on a nearby branch, with tail feathers spread.
A very rare, flightless, nocturnal, parrot-like bird is the Kakapo. It moves slowly and has an air of great sadness about it, almost as if it knows of the great peril that the species in in.
The Kiwi is another nocturnal species of flightless bird, and the adopted symbol of the New Zealand people. It forages through the undergrowth, sticking its long bill deep into the ground in search of insects.
