The Pukeko

Did you know that the Pukeko can fly? But unlike other  Birds it spends most of its time on the ground.
The Pukeko has red eyes and blue and black feathers. It is about the same size as a small hen but has long red legs. It has a red beak too.
The Pukeko is  found in NZ and lives near cold ponds  and muddy  swamps.
The Pukeko has a lot of enemies like rats, cats, hawks, weasels, and  stoats. 
The Pukeko will fly to get away from enemies.
The Pukeko eats duck eggs, worms and shoots.They can also eat crops from a farmers 
garden and small eels
The Pukeko is cool.It was fun to learn about them and I hope you learned about them too.
