  1. Hey there Ellie!
    What a great start to your blog!
    Thank you for sharing such awesome facts! People in other countries always get confused on why we call ourselves kiwis.Our indigenous Maori people called the kiwi bird the hidden bird of Tāne, the God of the forest. Have you ever seen a kiwi bird in real life?
    I loved the facts that you have chosen! Keep up the hard work
