kiwi cultrue

Kiwis are a native bird to new zealand and they can only be found in new zealand. They are endangered birds in our country and there are only 68,000 kiwis left but we're leaving 2% of our unmanaged kiwis every year. Kiwis are preyed on by animals such as dogs, stouts, possums etc. They are a protected species in New Zealand that represent us as a nation. They are our national animal. There are five types of kiwis northern brown, southern brown kiwi,great spotted kiwi,okarito kiwi and little spotted kiwi. They are flightless birds and they have two small legs, a long beak and are covered in thin hair like feathers. They are omnivores which means they are animals that eat both plants and other animals. The foods they eat are things like small invertebrates, seeds, grubs, different types of worms and fruits.

The tree

I gaze upon the bright moon my leaves blowing in the midnight wind  I stare at myself through the lake. It was so cold my leaves were falling to the ground which made me even colder I scan the sky hoping to find just one star because every time I look at a star it makes me fall asleep. suddenly my eyes zoom in to this one star I yawn and before I know it the sun was out again the bees were buzzing and the beautiful flowers were blowing the wind.
