Old Blue : )




Many years ago in the Chatham Island lived the rarest bird in the world. It is as small and round as an orange. Black Robins have sharp claws and scaly legs. They have furious looking black eyes, a blackish, greyish beak and their feathers are black. They have a short tail and a tiny fluffy body. They feed on grubs and wetas. They are endemic, which means they have always lived here. They also live for 5 years, Black Robins are about 16 to 18 cm, they hop and fly. Once there were only five black robins left in the world, also they are still endangered, so we need to protect them.
