New Zealand Postage Stamp: kiwi
Kiwi postage stamp - old currency - 1 Penny !! Kiwi: overprinted 'Official', issued March 1936 New Zealand has more varieties of flightless birds than any other country, & the kiwi is one. The bird is unique - its nostrils are placed at the end of its beak & its nasal passage is more complicated than that of any other bird. Although most bird's sense of smell is usually small, that of the kiwi's is high. It is nocturnal, issues loud whistling cry, & sniffs audibly when hunting food.

NZ Folk Song * Hine E Hine
Hine E Hine became the most familiar Maori song in NZ when, from 1979 to 1994, it was used as Tv Channel 2's closing-down song. Viewers were gently encouraged to follow the example of a cartoon kiwi tv technician who switched off the tv transmitter and went to sleep with his pet cat in the tv transmitter tower.
