Bird Mascots-The Fantail
Why did you choose this bird?I chose this bird because it is a very small and friendly bird.They are very friendly with people and enjoy fluttering around and playing in the trees and bushes.I used to see them when I would walk through the wetlands at my grandparents house.
Where is your bird from?
My bird can be found in many different countries.Some of these countries include of course New Zealand and South east Asia.
How big is your bird?
My bird is about 11.5cm to 21cm long.Some species tails can be longer than the body but in most species the tail is longer than the wing.
Here is a google drawing I made of my bird:
This is absolutely fantastic Taylor - your Google drawing is awesome. It is interesting to read that they frequented the wetlands around your grandparents' house, I've only ever seen them around home flitting in and out of the cabbage trees. One I was on a school camp and one of the other teachers attracted fantails and other native birds by rubbing a wet cork on a glass bottle. It makes a squeaky noise which attracts the birds. Thanks for your great research and a great choice of mascot. CARE Card 3/8/2020.
