Native Birds in our Area

Today is a special day - Leighton will be going with Shirley and some other students to a special event in Iveagh Bay, where we will hear about how birds will be more protected. So we all painted our favourite NZ native birds that we enjoy here. Do you like our amazing art and bird descriptions?

My pigeon can fly really high and he finds heaps of worms.

My tui is really fat because it’s been sneaking chocolate!

Bryce

My bird is a fantail. It is sitting on a branch in the shade of the trees.

Abby

My bird can change colour. It is a fantail and it’s golden.

Angus

There are lots and lots of birds in the forest.

Bruce

My fantail is flying.

Hamish

My bird is landing on a big tree and it’s making music.

Hunter M

I saw a bird flying to the sky and I want it to be my pet but it’s not my pet.

It’s the one with pink feet - the kēreru.

Safia

My fantail loves eating seeds.

I heard one when I was on a bush walk with my mum and brother.

It was singing.

Indi

It’s a stormy night and kārearea is flying about. He’s looking for food and he fought with another kārearea. That’s why there’s scratches on his beak. His claws are good for grabbing his food.

Leighton

Today I made a Tui. I made the colour blue and green. My favourite colour is green.

The colour of the feathers is camo.

Callum

This is the bellbird. It can fly and it sings nicely.
