New Zealand's foreign and native birds
New Zealand's landscape was formed by beautiful rainforests, hills, mountains, active volcanoes and glaciers. Birds were the main inhabitants of the woods, there were no large mammals. The arrival of man and the introduction of new animals brought about great change. The natural balance was greatly disturbed and some original species were threatened with extinction.The yellowhammer, sparrow and finch are newcomers to the New Zealand natural scene. They probably arrived together with the Europeans.
The pukeko has been living here since the dawn of man. The Maori named it after its own call: pukeko. The pukeko is a swamphen.

It's Our Tern To Mate
The White-fronted Tern (Sterna striata) is the most common tern of New Zealand. It rarely swims, apart from bathing, despite having webbed feet. The species is protected.White-fronted Terns feed in large flocks by plunge diving on shoals of smelt and pilchards which have been driven to the surface by larger fish and are easily caught. Like all terns they fly with their heads and bills pointing down to see their prey.
