New Zealand is home to a unique variety of native birds, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. Some well-known species include the kiwi, a flightless bird that is a national symbol, and the takahe, which was once thought to be extinct. These birds have adapted to the country's diverse habitats, from forests to wetlands. Conservation efforts are crucial for protecting these native birds, as many face threats from habitat loss and introduced predators. Organizations work to restore their populations and habitats, ensuring that future generations can enjoy the rich avian diversity of New Zealand.
