*************

Being an island nation with a history of long isolation and having no land mammals apart from bats, the birds of New Zealand have evolved to include a large number of unique species. Over the 65 million year isolation from any other land mass New Zealand became a land of birds and when Captain James Cook arrived in the 1770's he noted that the bird song was deafening. Maori and European settlement has been the cause of a huge decline in the numbers of birds.
