Karearea Bird

W.A.L.T write about New Zealand native birds.

Do you ever wonder what different types of birds are out there?

Well I am going to tell you about one odd bird that you have
probably never heard of. This wonderful bird is very special to me
because it is ancient to me and my family.  

It is a fact that there is only 300-500 New Zealand falcon pairs
remaining in New Zealand. These native New Zealand birds have
predators such as cats, weasels, stoats, and they mainly feast on the
eggs. Whenever you see this bird being attacked they strive to keep
their eggs and chicks safe. We need your help and you can help by
creating place like Zealandia. Please care for sick, injured, and
orphaned New Zealand falcons.

Even though the Karearea birds population used to be large  
you could help by making your own fan club. There are 38
different species of  New Zealand falcons around New Zealand.
This falcon is endemic (Found in certain areas) to this country and
they are most recently found in grazed hills or in a more open place
of trees. These birds are usually found in the South Island but also
south of  Waikato or Auckland islands. The number of falcons is
dropping because of cats, stoats, weasels, mustelids, and hedgehogs.

The adult falcons should grow up to 40 cm- 50 cm. This bird can
lay up to 2-4 eggs and should take about 33 days to hatch. There
are at least 5,000- 8,000 individual falcons left around
New Zealand. They do not build nest they rather scrap on the
ground under a rocky outcrop or in a forest tree where it lays its
eggs. However when these chicks hatch they are fed by both parents
not just the mother but the male does most of the hunting. If the
karearea is about to attack they can fly up to about 100 kilometers
per hour and can catch prey larger than itself. They kill their prey
with a quick powerful bite to their neck and they hunt live prey.

I hope that you have learnt a lot about the Karearea bird and I hope
that I have convinced you to support the Karearea birds in anyway
you can. PLEASE HELP!!!.
