Blogger: class research - Create Post: "http://lbarker.orcon.net.nz/NZbirds.html". that is a website you can go to if you want to learn lots more about native birds and trees. it has a selection of birds and if you choose one you click on it and it has all the information you need to know about it. it is the greatest website. for some extra proof here is an example. i chose the bird Kokako and it came up with this...Size: 37cm.
Status: Fairly rare.
Range: North Auckland and central North Island; possibly a few scattered localities in the South Island.
Habitat: Native forest with a more or less continuous canopy, particularly where there is emergent podocarps in the North Island.
Food: Leaves, flowers and fruits.
Voice: A variety of rich organ-like notes and bell-like calls. Calls are usually of descending pitch. The alarm call is rather similar to the tui’s.
