I found a selection of birds that now live in New Zealand, as I have posted some of these before, thought I would set a quiz.

New Zealand does not have native animals, just birds, fish, and the only mammals are seals and whales and dolphins, and marine life. Also a few unique insects.

Our animals are imported and most of them are considered pests by the ministry of agriculture and fisheries.

  17. Great pictures. I only got 4 out of 10. And for the love of God or of me, I did not think that the first bird was one of my own Canadian type bird: Canada geese. Wow, what is it doing over there. I thought they only travelled south to the U.S. Anyway, great poll.
