Marvellous manu (birds)

Biodiversity, ecological sustainability and taking action for native birds and their environment.

Experiences

Students become ornithologists for the day as they learn what they can do to improve the outlook for our native birds.

Through a series of 'who did it?' activities to identify birds and their threats, students learn about the impacts humans have on New Zealand's birdlife and how we can look after these marvellous manu.
