'Little River Gallery' Prints (so far)


'WELCOME BACK TUI'

Thanks to the
'Banks Peninsula
Tui
Restoration' project.

We will soon be hearing,
one of the seven best songsters in
the world,
again on the old volcano.
So get planting those native
nectar trees, to welcome back
one of New Zealands favorite sons,
on his homecoming tour,
beginning April 2009,
in a tree near you.


'NERVOUS KIWI'

You would be too,
if you needed help to survive!

...it is true that New Zealanders
treasure their Kiwi but it has not
been treasured enough...
...poor Kiwi. Everybody, it seems to
want a piece of him,
cars, cats and dogs, ferrets,
possums, rats...
...not to mention the loss of his
habitat too.
...what's a wee guy to do...
kick?



'PEEVED HUIA'

Well you would be too if you were extinct!

...All because people wanted you to decorated their homes and museums
in England...
...Then there was King George V,
who wore one of your tail feathers
in his hat, so of course everyone
else wanted one too!
Not surprisingly the poor
New Zealand Huia become extinct...

...and rather peeved!
(and do you blame him)
