Two  weeks  ago , on May 10  ,we  started our  science study  about endangered birds.Officer Shaun from Willowbank Wildlife Reserve came  to explain "Operation Nest Egg" and answered many of our interveiw questions.





Questions for Shaun- Education Officer Willowbank.
Thursday 10 May- 11 am
Who feeds the animals?
Where does the fantail come from?
Who do you look after?
Who heals them when they are sick or hurt?
What do you feed your birds?
How often do you feed your birds?
When might the kiwi become extinct?
How do you identify sick birds?
Where do birds come from?
How do you k now what birds are extinct?
When did you realise that the kiwi was in danger of being extinct?
Why did the kiwi become endangered?



Our questions were well answered and we are looking forward to our visit to Willowbank on 20 June to culminate our study and there is a lot to investigate before then.
We shall keep you informed about our findings so that you too can become aware of our endangered birds .

                                          This is how big a kiwi egg is.


                                          We are sitting on the mat watching a powerpoint.

                                         We are all having fun touching a taxidermied kiwi  and
                                         learning about  the bird.






Mrs Reddy just had to have a hold of the taxidermied Kiwi.

This is the tuatara officer Shaun brought for us to see.
It is our dinosaur which is endangered!
