At last a single field guide that covers New Zealand's plants, birds, insects and animals for visitors and New Zealanders interested in this country's natural history. When author Julian Fitter first visited New Zealand he was amazed at the number of field guides to birds, plants, insects, marine life and to specific locations - alpine, forest, seashore. But for the traveller not wanting to cart around a library-shelf of books there was no single volume that described the major and most interesting species covering all NZ's flora and fauna. As author of a natural history field guide to the Galapagos, he set about compiling such a book for New Zealand. The result is a small format, full colour guidebook packed with information on all the species that either are most important, or most obvious to those touring the country covering birds, insects, reptiles, marine mammals, land mammals, trees and shrubs, vines and epiphytes, herbs, ferns, ... more

Birds of Aotearoa : A natural and cultural history order quantity

Paperback
Author: Margaret Orbell
Published by: Reed Publishing (NZ) Ltd
In Stock: 1
To Maori, as in all traditional societies, birds have beena constant source of ideas and metaphors because of their power of flight, their songs, their beauty, and the great variation in their appearance and behaviour. The calls of some birds are believed to convey a message to listening humans, either a warning or a reassurance, and the feathers of many kinds of birds were greatly valued for their beauty, all the more so when they were rare or difficult to obtain.

In Birds of Aotearoa, Margaret Orbell describes the early relationship existing in New Zealand between Maori and the extraordinary birds they found here. She provides scientific information, recounts traditions explaining the birds origins and natures, quotes from songs that they appear in, and shows us some of the beautiful items used by Maori that are prompted by the birds' existence.

In New Zealand's lush rainforests, isolated from the outside world for 80 million years, many extraordinary birds evolved.

For the first time ever, this book brings these lost birds to life again. In rich colour, celebrated painter Paul Martinson depicts each bird in its original habitat. Te Papa palaeontologist Alan Tennyson provides detailed information on the birds as well as a compelling overview of their tragic extinction. This book is essential reading for experts, students, and anyone interested in this country's natural history.
