*In the night forest: Ruru aka morepork and kiwi
*the bird sound at the end of "forest walk" is gorgeous!!

In New Zealand there are no native land mammals except for bats, and so in the forests the birds are the children, the children of Tane. Yeah, they're pretty special!

a summer beautiful thing:
**swimming in the river, surrounded by bush, listening to the the distinctive beat of the wings of the kereru (New Zealand native pigeon) as it flies overhead** ...

Tuis have a most wonderful sound,
and you needn't live in the country
or by the forest to hear them, for they
live in towns and cities if they find
trees with food for them.

Kokako 2000...."A new search for a native bird that has been 'missing in action' for more than 30 years is to get under way in October. If successful, the 'Kokako 2000' campaign will confirm the continued existence of the South Island kokako, a forest bird that has not been officially recorded since the 1960s."
