PUKEKOES
The pukeko have enemies that are vicious.A stoat that has sharp pointy teeth,could kill a pukekoe in seconds with just one bite.Stoats are one of their harshest enemies.They have razor sharp teeth sort of what a school of piranhas have.
These native birds are endangered, and mostly hunted by people in seasons such as Winter and Autumn.They are not captured during their own season,summer.If frightened,they will use their strong stringy legs and power ahead to the other side of the pond. Luckily, they are good at listening,so if they are near danger they lift up their greenish glossy tail and soar through the air clumsily. They sometimes dive in the water and swim to the bottom of the river to get away from danger.
What a pukeko expert you are.
ReplyDeleteI like your description of the stoat's teeth and the comparison to a piranha.
I got a little confused when you said the pukeko both soars (flies gracefully and efficiently) and flies clumsily, which do you mean?
Great variety of sentence lengths here Joshua, well done.
