Don Merton the Hero!



Their once was a black Robin, it's feathers were pitch black, it had a greyish blackish beak and it was the most chubbyest tiny bird you would ever see. It had skinny scaly legs and it is 16-18 centimetres long, and is extra cute. Black Robins eat grubs, worms, and bugs. Black Robins lay their eggs in a nest or in a old falcon's nest. At one point it's kind were one of the rarest birds in the world. It's numbers increased and now thanks to Don Merton there is now 5 to 250!

Saving black robins

NZ has an amazing bird living on Mangere Island. They are called black robins. Black robins are as chubby as a baby and their feathers are as black as the night. They were once the rarest bird in the world. Black robins also lay eggs in a nest. They also eat grubs, insects, wetas and even worms like some birds do. They can even fly and they also are tiny birds. All black robins are black. Black robins claws are as sharp as a cats. There eyes are as furious as a man angry. They also are endemic to NZ. They are small birds and when they are walking they sort of hop. The colour of their beak is blackish grey and they have a short tail.

Chatham Islands Black Robins

Did you know that black robins are small, fluffy and they even have a short tail. They also have fierce looking eyes with a greyish blackish beak. The black robins used to be the most rarest bird. There are now 250 Robins left. Black robins live in the Chatham Islands. They eat Grubs, Wetas and insects and they live in the forest. Female Robins lay eggs in a nest and they protect them from pests and predators. These tiny birds can't fly anywhere because they have small wings. They are also 18cm long.
