Aotearoa New Zealand is home to many different kinds (species) of native birds. Sadly,
about a third of our native bird species are at risk of disappearing forever (becoming
extinct).

Each year, Forest and Bird New Zealand hold a ‘Bird of the Year’ competition where
people can vote for their favourite native bird. This year, the winner was the kererū

Kia ora Tehillah,
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you. Well done on your summer learning journey posts! I am from the Kaikohekohe Cluster (Northland) and have hopped on over to the help the awesome Manaiakalani team, as you guys are blogging up a storm! I am looking forward to hearing all the beautiful, knowledgeable and diverse ideas that you have to offer and I am also looking forward to learning from you.
What a beautiful picture you have drawn of the very popular bird the Seagull. Did you do this yourself? Because the shading is perfect, I can’t pick out any flaws! Seagulls live all around us, they especially love the beaches in summer because people drop food. I agree with you, they would not be nice to eat at all! I didn’t know that Seagulls drink water, they have glands that flush away the salt!
I have really enjoyed reading this blog and I cannot wait to read more of your work.
Blog you later!
