‘Come fly with me’ features a dancing pair of pīwaiwaka | fantail carrying banners of mānuka, swooping and spreading their beautiful wings and tail feathers, rejoicing in the bountiful supply of food. Believe it or not, pīwaiwaka | fantail birds are one of Aotearoa | New Zealand’s fierce hunters! And those beautiful long tail feathers aren’t just for looks, they also help them to twist and turn very quickly during flight. Their favourites are moths, flies, spiders, wasps, beetles, and the occasional fruit. Yum, yum! We are so lucky in Aotearoa | New Zealand to have such a friendly, joyful little bird hanging around. If you want to give theses little cuties a helping hand, lets keep a close eye on our furry feline friends, and a big hi-5 to you if you can set a rat trap, or two! 

Art work by Northland based artist, Katy Hayward. This drawing was inspired by her aroha/love for going on beautiful bushwalks with her little family, and the joy of being followed by these friendly little birds who dart and chase her daughter around.
