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.
