| Description |
Kingfisher (kōtare) Our sacred kingfisher or kōtare is a cousin of the kookaburra in Australia. It’s ancestors flew here from Australia around 10,000 years ago. Don’t be fooled by the kingfisher’s name, because they don’t just eat fish - they eat skinks, silvereyes, spiders, earthworms, mice and even crabs! So how does a kōtare eat a crab? The short answer is: with brute force. They have been known to fling their prey against fence-posts, or against tree trunks as can be seen in these pictures* below.f. |
