An Unusual Tree and an Unusual Bird
As New Zealand is a long way from anywhere, it has many trees and flowers that you don’t find in other places of the world. New Zealand’s best-known tree is the kauri, which can live for as long as two thousand years. It can grow up to fifty metres high. The Maori used it to make their wooden boats. Europeans also used the kauri tree to make their houses. There are still some of these houses in the older parts of Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Northland, in the North Island, is a good place to see the kauri trees. New Zealand’s tallest tree is in Northland too. The tree’s name is Tane Mahuta. It is more than 51 metres high and more than 1,200 years old.
You can’t find the kakapo parrot in other parts of the world either. It cannot fly. This parrot is green and grey and it is the heaviest parrot in the world. It makes a very loud sound and it can live up to ninety years. Kakapo parrots lived on Stewart Island without anyone
knowing about them until 1845. But now there are not many birds of this kind in the country — not more than a hundred.
