KIWI

Because of that choice, the kiwi's efforts in helping Tāne-Mahuta protect his forest display the character traits New Zealanders still admire today: integrity, humility, loyalty, commitment, and courage.

In short:

•  Sacrifice: Giving up flight, colour, and daylight for the good of the forest

•  Humility: Doing the unseen, night-time work, not the showy work in the canopy

•  Kaitiakitanga: Guarding and caring for the natural world

•  Belonging: A sacred connection to land and ancestors

Why New Zealanders are called Kiwis

The kiwi has stood for New Zealand since around the First World War, when New Zealanders themselves became known as Kiwis. Before that, the kiwi represented the country but not the people.

That is why a kiwi today is about identity and home. If the pīwakawaka is the messenger, the tūī is the voice, and the koru is new life beginning, the kiwi is the quiet guardian, the one who stays in the dark and does the hard work so everything else can live.
