For My New Zealand Friends


The first mention of the Maori word kiwi in English was back in 1835, in a description of 'the most remarkable and curious bird in New Zealand.' It was given the scientific name apteryx, or 'wingless,' because its wings are so stubby it can't even think of flying. My friends are belovedly called "Kiwis".
