Hi Bob, how on earth did you make yourself small enough to fit in that nest? Or are those birds just gigantic? Wow 37 birds in 5 minutes is quite a few! Way more than what I counted....5. Your Auckland home looks nice and the weather looks ok too. It's interesting that some think Piwakawaka are good luck and some think they're bad luck. I like you think they're good luck! I like how you worked out the message in the story. Never be too confident! Great work again Bob.
ReplyDeleteTino pai, Bob! I liked reading all you know about native birds. Did you enjoy bird watching? Do you know that's mindfulness as well? I am impressed that you know both the Maori and English names for the birds. Thank you for explaining what 'tohu' means. We have lots of piwakawaka just outside our windows. That must be a good sign. You got great meaning out of the story "Kahu and Hokioi". "To never give up" is an excellent message.
ReplyDeleteGreat work Bob! I really enjoyed reading how you did your observation and how tricky it was to actually identify what the birds were. Do you have a cat at your Auckland home? Our cats scare the birds away a lot I think. We have a huge tulip tree at our place which the tui love and sometimes morepork sit in it too which I love. The tree is so big we sometimes worry it might fall on our house but we don't want to cut it down because the native birds would not visit so often.
ReplyDeleteI love your title page! Very inventive! Looks like you had fun putting that together. Aotearoa has a lot of syllables! I wonder what the longest Maori word is and how many syllables?!!
Wow Bob!
ReplyDeleteI love how you put your photo into the nest, was that tricky to do?
You have worked very hard on your bird project, its a great photo of the Piwakawaka , we see lots of them at our house as well. You wrote a great summary about Kahu and Hokioi, and I was also
impressed with the word work you did as well. Great work Bob.
