| About this scrapbook page: |
The Pukeko is a NZ swamp hen found throughout all of NZ. Though I'm sure most of them live on our property LOL. They are actually quite pretty birds. We've done a lot of planting of native trees on our property & my husband Bryan has to put cages around them when 1st planted so these guys won't dig them up. For the 'Show us your bird' challenge

Beautiful page and very informative. This bird looks a little like we have here, but ours lives in watery area`s and swim between the ducks.
