Oh my god, those birds are wonderful! I briefly lived in New Zealand, but i never got to see them. 
i have to convince my parents to take us to New Zealand for our next vacation!
Thanks for sharing Pricey_Boy!

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

I've seen documentaries on them before. I believe I heard in one of them that the parents care for them for 5 years because of the climate. I am just happy that I don't live there. It is hard enough to protect the things in my house.
