The Amazing Kea

In the beginning, the Kingdom was a great striking forest where birds of different colours and sizes lived all together in peace and harmony.  Every bird kept eating the berries and insects. They all had the same song but different coloured feathers. The cheeky kea kept playing tricks on his friends and other birds. Every single bird had the same features and it was always summer and always day.

Later on the time of quarrelling began. The birds started to get greedy and they were stealing food out of each others beaks. They were punching and scratching each other and taking more food than they needed, and making more of them to be stronger. Then a great blanket of darkness fell upon the sky and made it dark and stormy for the first time.

In the sky emerged the phoenix god Ka. He made the birds climb a tree on one side so he could punish them but Krickta the kea was climbing the other side and stole sharp claws, a sharp beak, and a beautiful birdsong. When Ka punished the birds he gave them perches, jobs, different features and a different birdsongs. 

When all the birds were gone Krickta the kea flew up and Ka was furious with him and flew away. But Krickta the kea followed him and the sunlight stained the bottom of his wings. Ka banished the kea to the snowy mountains and he took away his birdsong so they could only screech. But the kea got to keep the beak and claws.

Crazy Cockatiel

Once Mrs Osborne found a cockatiel in front of the library door outside. She picked it up and she came and visited our D5 family with the cocktiel on her shoulder. She said that it could say "good boy good boy" and "funny funny" then she returned to the library. Toby the cat scared her or him out of the library and then when Mrs Compston was interviewing a dad that wanted his son to be enrolled to our helpful school, suddenly... the cockatiel flashed through the door and landed right on her head. The dad grabbed the school book on his head to protect his head so that the cockatiel didn't put it's sharp claws on his head and he was terrified that it might be a wild creature. After that happened Mrs Osborne searched on the web and found where it lived so she took the cockatiel to the owner. They were afraid that a predator had eaten it or something happened to it but now it's safe and sound with it's owner and happy at his home.

The Legend Of The Kea

Long ago when the world was covered in trees, it was peaceful. There were birds that had the same features, and it was always summer and day time. All birds were helping and sharing but Krikta the kea was cheeky and mischievous, he played jokes on other birds.

Suddenly the time of quarrelling began, birds were fighting and stealing food from other birds beaks. The blood from their wounds ruined their colourful plumage. The bright sky disappeared and grey clouds spread across the sky. Ka suddenly appeared, "you have damaged the forest and you have destroyed the trees" shouted Ka . 

He was so furious he punished them and gave them different jobs, features and perches. All of the birds had to climb the front of Ka's tree but Krikta the kea was curious so he climbed up the back and he stole a beak, claws and a beautiful birdsong. 

The sun began to set, so Ka raised up in the sky and noticed Krikta the kea singing a beautiful birdsong. As quick as a flash Ka knew Krikta the kea stole the birdsong, beak and claws. So Ka took away their birdsong and now they can only screech. But they got to keep the sharp claws and beak. The keas were banished to the snowy mountains for ever more.

Cockatiel story

Mrs Osborne visited D5 with a cockatiel on her shoulder, it had a spiky yellow punk hairstyle and it looked like a mysterious creature. Toby scared the cockatiel in the library. Mrs Compston was interviewing a dad who wanted his son  to come to our school, when the cockatiel landed on her head!

Legend of the Kea

Once there was a place so peaceful and quiet that no person knew where it was, no one looked for it and no one knew of it. The land was so colourful that the forest was so hard to find because it could camouflage. The birds who lived there were colourful too and also birds could fly with feet!! Moas were tall as trees and fantails so big they could catch dragonflies. The birds could speak the same language and they lived in harmony and shared food like berries, seeds and much more. Krikta the kea got up to no good playing tricks on other birds, and being mischievious. Then came the time of quarrelling when birds fought and stole berries from other birds beaks! Their tears made rain for the first time ever in the forest! Just then, in a flash there stood the great Ka ruler of all birds and he spoke in a booming voice "you foolish birds you almost killed this beautiful forest that I made now for your punishment I'll give out places for birds to live, feathers, beaks and claws. So Ka gave the mark of shame to the gull because the gull stole berries from birds beaks and got banished to the sea side. The NZ Falcon got the beak of terror and it came with the taste of blood. Just then Krikta the kea stole the best voice and sang to his wife Starwing. Ka was so angry that Krikta stole all those things so Ka took away the Keas lovely voice. And Ka banished the keas to the snowy mountains for the rest of their lives.

The Legend of the Kea

One legendary day birds of many colours had a peaceful land where they lived harmoniously sharing all the berries, fruits and nectar altogether. All of the colourful birds had the same birdsong and had the same features, and the same language. Krikta the kea was so smart and mischievious, and so cheeky! Suddenly the time of quarrelling started. Ka the ruler of all of the birds was disappointed with all of the birds and he started to make the land pour with rain and storms and it was very dark. Ka banished all of the colourful birds and suddenly Ka took the other birds birdsong and took all of the birds feathers. Only one bird called Krikta the kea didn't go to Ka. Krikta stole the beak, strong wings and very sharp claws. Ka banished the other  birds like the tomtit, grey warbler and the silver eyes and gave them small beaks to eat insects and spiders. Ka gave all the birds jobs, different features and perches, except for the sneaky Krikta the kea. Ka gave the NZ falcon a cruel beak with the taste of blood and the seagull had the black mark of shame. The ruler of all birds banished the Kea's to have a different perch out of all of the birds, deep in the snowy mountains. Krikta the kea had no more birdsong but kept his sharp claws and beak.

Cockamania

On the 13th of June Mrs Osborne visited room D5 with a punky little cockatiel on her shoulder and everyone went nuts for it ( little show off. ) Then the next day Mrs Osborne was sorting some books when the cockatiel ran off in the blink of an eye, into Mrs Compston's office and flew on her head! Then Mrs Compston screamed and there was a wingnami and this happened right in the middle of an interview!! The man did not want the cockatiel to land on his head so he got the school interview book and put it on his head. The next day ( it was Saturday ) Mrs Osborne found the owner on trade me ( the  cockatiel was found outside wandering around and it got lost. ) And that was the end of that shenanigan.

The legend story

One legendary day there was a magnificent forest where peaceful birds lived together. It was full of peace and quiet. All of the colourful birds spoke the same language and ate the same food and sang the same birdsong. Then came the time of quarrelling and all of the birds were screeching. Until the greatest bird of all called Ka, he made it dark and stormy. Ka the greatest bird of all punished the birds and gave them perches and jobs. Ka punished the NZ falcon for nasty behaviour and banished the seagull from the forest. Krikta the kea made the birds all angry because he stole a birdsong, claws and a beak. So Ka gave him no place to live because Krikta already had the best features. Krikta followed Ka all the way to the sky and Krikta's wings turned orangish-red. He had nowhere to live so he had to live in the snowy mountains. Krikta called all the other keas and when the keas got there Krikta tricked them and all the keas were scattered around. Krikta slipped down the mountain as the sun rose and Krikta and his friend Starwing were together and built their own nest.

 

Legend of the Kea

In one great magnificent forest lived birds of all kinds, they had beautiful colours and melodies. The birds lived in peace and harmony and all the birds had the same features. In that beautiful forest it was always summer and daylight. They ate luscious berries and gobbled up juicy insects. Moas and wekas used to play and  have fun also Krikta the Kea and his friends were always playing practical jokes on others. There were even parrots coloured like the rainbow.

 

Then  came the time of quarrelling when birds turned furiously against each other. Grey Warbler was the greediest bird of all and the seagulls stole berries from other birds beaks and they were savage. Then came Ka the greatest bird of all and he made the land dark and stormy for the first time in forever.

 

Ka started to punish all the birds one by one, he gave them jobs, perches, and features. But suddenly Krikta the Kea stole a beautiful birdsong, claws, beaks and features. Meanwhile when Krikta the Kea was singing to his darling Starwing, Ka saw him and he was angry. Just then Ka was about to go when Krikta asked him about the Kea's perches, jobs and features and Ka said
"you are brave enough, you have got the most beautiful claws and beaks!" Krikta and the other Keas were banished to live in the harsh snowy mountains forever.

  

The Funny Story

Last week we had a visitor. It was Mrs Osborne and she had a bird on her shoulder. It was a Cockatiel!!! Mrs Osborne didn't come inside our classroom I think because the Cockatiel was too shy. Yesterday in the afternoon we went to the library. While we were at the library, we saw Mrs Osborne and she was holding a book. Mrs Osborne said, "Yesterday in the afternoon I went on trade me and clicked on lost pets and found pets and I saw the owner. So I called the owner and they came straight away." Before Mrs Osborne came, Mrs.Compston was in the office interviewing a dad that wanted his son to come (be enrolled) to our school. Suddenly the Cockatiel landed on Mrs Compston's head! The dad grabbed a book and put it on his head before the Cockatiel could land on the dad's head. That's the end of the Funny Story.

Tremendous Appearance

On a funny Thursday Mrs Osborne appeared to visit D5 with a cockatiel on her shoulder! She walked with happiness and she said "this is a very beautiful bird it has a spiky punk hair style!" It's tail was a bit long and it has white and yellow feathers. Later that day Mrs Compston had invited a man and his child so he could be enrolled in our school. Mrs Osborne was on her way to the library to check some books and the cockatiel flew away to Mrs Compston's office. The man got a fright and got a book and put it on his head, then Mrs Comptson asked "why are you frightened?" The man said "there is a cockatiel on your head!" Mrs Compston shook her head and went flying out the door with the cockatiel. Everyone chased the cockatiel outside and it flew away.

The Cockatiel

One day Mrs Osborne visited D5 with a cockatiel on her shoulder. It had appeared that day in the library - maybe it was lost? The next day suddenly the cockatiel landed on Mrs Compston's head. The dad she was talking to grabbed a school book and put on his head  to protect it. The cockatiel then landed on Mrs Compstons head again. Mrs Osborne took it home and found the owner.

The Funniest Cockatiel

One lovely day when Mrs Osborne visited she had a lovely bird named the cockatiel. She took it home in a safe cage then the next day she gave it to the office to show them. Mrs Compston was talking to a dad when suddenly the cockatiel landed on her head. The dad got a fright so he put the school books on his head so he didn't get hurt. Mrs Compston got a fright and she screamed loudly so that everyone could hear. The noise was so annoying that we couldn't write. The cockatiel was found in the library near the door. The colour on its back is grey and it has yellow feathers on it's head.

The Legend of the Kea

One peaceful day there was a gigantic forest where birds of many colours lived in harmony, and they shared all the juicy berries and nectar. All of the lovely birds were happy but the kea was playing jokes on his friends. Then the time of the quarrelling began and the grey warbler was the first greedy bird. The seagull stole berries from birds beaks. Tomtits started fighting with the kiwi. All of the flowers, nectar and fruit  had all been squashed down. Then there was a stormy voice and it started getting dark - there was a huge silence and all of a sudden Ka came, the greatest bird of all. He was ferocious and Ka said " you have almost destroyed the beautiful forest. And now you will be busy planting trees and berries". Then Ka ordered the birds to come out from their hiding places and fly up to the tree to get their job, perches and feathers. Ka gave the tui and the bellbird a nice voice. The kea climbed up into the back of the tree and he stole the feathers behind Ka's back. Ka said the grey warbler was so greedy that it will not eat berries any more, it can only eat bugs in the ground. Tomtit and wren changed their beaks so they could no longer eat fruit. Then Ka said to the kea" I will take your voice and you only keep your beaks, claws and wings. So Ka shut his wings and let the sun shine. The keas now have a place to live that is the snowy mountains but not in the forest. They were banished for stealing.

Legend of the Kea

One legendary day, birds of many colours lived in a magnificent peaceful and quiet forest. They were sharing all the yummy juicy insects, sweet fruit, and nectar. All of the amazing birds had the same birdsong and the same features and the same language. Krikta the kea was so cheeky, mischievous, smart and greedy. And then one day all of a sudden all the birds grew greedy and they laid too many eggs. That means more of their kind and then the birds started fighting over fruit, berries, insects, and nectar. The first greedy bird was the Grey warbler and then the Tomtits. Next they started fighting, and crying and soon pain and tears ran down their face. Black clouds appeared from the distance and all the birds went silent as they saw the black night and storm. The sun rose again and Ka the greatest bird of all was very angry and punished the birds. He made them only speak to their own kind and gave them somewhere to perch, jobs, beaks, feathers, birdsong and the food that they can eat. But Krikta the Kia climbed up the back of Ka's tree and stole a sharp beak, birdsong, sharp claws. Then he went down the tree and sang his sweet bird song to his partner Starwing. All the birds were making the forest better again and so they lived happily together again. 

Cheeky Keas

It all started in the beautiful and legendary forest where it was peaceful, and this forest was  was shared by all sorts of birds. The birds in that forest all had the same kinds of features like they had the same kinds of wings, and feathers. In the huge forest it was always day time and the sun was always shining. Krikta the kea was always playing practical jokes on other birds. 

Long after the peace and harmony the time of quarrelling came and it all started because grey warbler decided that she would lay more eggs so there was more of her kind. All of the birds then decided " I want more of me now" and that's when the quarrelling started. At once, for the first time in forever, the sky went pitch black and there was complete silence. Ka, the greatest bird of all approached and said in a clear and angry voice " you have all been bad birds and for that I will punish you and give you all different jobs, perches, and features".

The birds all then had to climb up the front of Ka's tree but Krikta the kea climbed up the back and stole some, feathers, claws, wings, and a beatiful bird song. Krikta the kea was singing his beatiful melodies to his wife Starwing, meanwhile the other keas were getting their features. Ka saw Krikta and took the bird song and flew up high into the sky. Krikta followed and asked " but where should we live?" Ka pointed to the snowy mountains and the keas actually loved it there! But the keas still haven't learnt their leason because they are still cheeky!
