Kiwi the Bird
« on: December 04, 2007, 04:37:16 AM »
http://www.savethekiwi.org.nz/AboutTheBird/

A small fightless bird from New Zealand very rare, very shy, and very funny looking, but a true New Zealander.

It has a spirit and the will to live and fight for its home. Its a cute little fella  ;)

Hunted and almost wiped out by the moaris, even today they still hunt the bird.



It lays an egg one third of its own body weight.



A baby one  :)

I never knew that bird existed, I hope it's not on the verge of extinction from the moaris. :'(

Sheep were not native to New Zealand, like the possums, cockatoos, Moari's and rats. All introduced.

There is NO white New Zealand culture. Whenever there is a major event it's ALL maori crap.

What are the symbals of white NZ? I've never seen any.

At least at Aussie events we have stockmen, swagmen & the Man from Snowy River in his moleskins & RM Williams boots and Akubra hat. We don't do abbo cooberies at the football or the Commonwealth games.

We are NOT the Borg. We are separatists.
