The Kiwi

Ana Samways in the NZ Herald’s Sideswipe, highlights a quote from a Guardian article about our national bird and symbol, the Kiwi.

“New Zealand’s only famous native animal, and national symbol, is the kiwi, a stupid, ugly, clumsy bird which can’t even fly – it’s basically a two-legged rat with a beak”

Harsh, but not totally untrue 🙂
