Hi everyone it's Madi here this is my winter learning journey day 3.LETS START
Activity one: The name of the bird that I picked is the great spotted kiwi.The Great spotted kiwi is the second largest of the five kiwi species.The great spotted kiwi has a long pale bill it is the only bird with nostrils at the end of its bill and it has short dark legs and toes with dark streaked claws.
The Great spotted kiwi are flightless and active at night. They eat mostly small invertebrates meaning worms and insects and meany others.
The Great spotted kiwi live in maze like burrows that they make themselves.These kiwis live in higher altitude areas.
Activity two: I think it's right to kill the predators because they are causing a lot of problems in New Zealand like they carry a disease called bovine Tb and there a threat to our wildlife.
They eat eggs,chicks and even adults of our many native birds.They also eat nectar and berries that our native birds like to eat so that there is less food for the birds.Possums have cost NZ farmers $35 million every year.
Thanks for reading hope you like it.BY MADI
Kia ora Madi,
ReplyDeleteI love that you have chosen the Great Spotted Kiwi as your 'adopted' animal. The kiwi is such an iconic (famous) animal in New Zealand and the number of kiwi are declining rapidly. I think that we really do have a responsibility as 'kiwis' to do what we can to protect and preserve them.
Let's hope that we can find a way to keep them safe and out of harms way so that the can continue to live here in New Zealand for years to come.
Cheers!
