Hello!!

Welcome back guys to another blog post this week and this weeks bird call well umm. . . I didn't bother even trying to attempt to write down this fabulous bird call which comes from the King-of-Saxony. anyway there's a video for you guys to watch instead. . .

Welcome back. . . I know right. . . what a heck of a sound from a tiny winy bird. Throughout their evolution, the King-of-Saxony's extraordinary and a display that includes waving the head plumes in sync bouncing on a perch, and delivering an extraordinary screeching, buzzing, hissing call that sounds like anything but a bird (More like something from outer space if you ask me)

Anyway onto this weeks blog, and yes 
your probably wondering why 

I haven't chose a native New Zealand bird for this weeks bird call but it's because of the fact that it relates to this weeks blog topic which is my favorite thing. . . and instead of you all face palming in front of your screens while I blab on about a New Zealand bird. I'm going to do something a bit differently and blab on about the 
birds of paradise!!! (And yes I can see you face palming in front of your screens right now) 

Two evolutionary forces have combined 
to shape the extraordinary 

birds-of-paradise. The males owe their exotic plumes and dances to 

the females who have to chose mates, and over millions of years the males plumes changes to suite the females interest. And the diversity of the 39 species is the result of geographic isolation. There 

is an amazing diversity of birds of paradise species. From genetic evidence we know that all species evolved from a single ancient crow like ancestor. 

They do so through the evolutionary process of speciation. 
Whch has ended up with the 39 species of birds-of-paradise 
which includes tiny, starling-sized birds and big, crow-sized 
birds each just as beautiful as the last and all has loads of 
different ways of how to grab the females attention. birds in 
vivid blues, greens, and reds; birds with head plumes, tail 
plumes, back plumes, chest plumes, and no plumes.

Dream Job

                                                                              'Kek-kek-kek-kek'                                                                                                                       Hey guys! Welcome back to this weeks post. Before we get into the swing of things, I better tell you what this weeks bird call is. . . Well for this weeks call comes from the New Zealand kingfisher, a bird most frequently seen perching on top of power lines, post tops etc. where they search for prey including large insects, invertebrates, crabs, small fish, and even sometimes goldfish from garden ponds! 

Anyway lets try not to drag this out too long. So this weeks post 

is about my dream job. . . 

Firstly i'd like to be an architecture. . .

Architecture can mean:

• A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures.
• The art and science of designing buildings and some nonbuilding structures.
• The style of design and method of construction of buildings and other physical structures
• The knowledge of art, science & technology and humanity
• The practice of the architect, where architecture means offering or rendering professional services in connection with the design and construction of buildings, or built environments.
• The design activity of the architect, from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture).
• The word architecture has also been adopted to describe other designed systems, especially technology

I'd put my artistic skills into this job to create fantastic new eco- 

friendly buildings and houses. i will also design new city parks 

and gardens even the occasional wildlife reserve. Also putting 

my skills to the test I may even design new buildings and 

machines to solve world problems, such as global warming.

If I was wanting to be an architecture I would need to take the

following topics.

• Architecture history
• Green building design
• Project management
• Construction methods
• CAD for architecture
• And a lot of Math!

My second dream job is to be a conservationist. . .

First things first lets explain what this word means for those of you who aren't quite sure.                                                                                                                 firstly conservation means: To activity supervise a district, river, forest, etc. to protect ether the environment or the depletion of species native to that area. So to sum it up humans are protecting nature from humans.  like literally building a huge fence to stop us and other introduced animals in (I know right crazy)                                                                                                 Conservationist means: Well it's pretty much a person who runs the conservation which tries to protect the animals and plants inside the reserve. . . from us.                                                                                                           Being a conservationist would be nice. . . but it's more like if i had any spare time because it wouldn't get me very far in life. And thats the same with being an artist. I wouldn't base my whole life around it, I will more likely 

do some drawing of painting in my spare time. . .

(And for your guys information realistic i probably wouldn't

be an architecture for m,y real full time job. . . I just chose 

the first thing that came into my head and started writing it)    

Goodbye

Holiday 

                                                                           

  'Chit' 'Chit' 'Chit'                                                 

Hello everybody!!                                               How was all of your holidays. . . ?                       Good. . . ?                                                           Well that's great!  I had a pretty decant holidays as well. But I will get into more of that later. First things first, your probably wondering what the bird call is from... well to the right, is a picture of a Whitehead, which just happens to be the bird call of the week.     This adorable bird is only found in the north 

island, usually seen in flocks of 10-20 while 

feeding. 

Alright, that's enough of that, lets get into the real blog post for this week. so continuing on from before. . . The first few days mostly consisted of chilling. . .                                                 . . .and yoghurt story! Mmmm!                                                       Slowly, Wednesday arrived. My brothers and I spent the following 3 nights at our grandparents house in Palmerston north. Then on Saturday morning our parents picked us up and headed to our beach house on castleclif beach. 

So this was the beach that we stayed at. (Above) It was really nice, 

Well maybe when the tide wasn't in. because then there wouldn't 

be any beach to play on. . .  lol. 

We weren't at the beach the whole time though. we went off to do 

other activities, such as going to Virginia lake, with the cool light 

shows at night!  

We also had a bush walk at bushy park and saw some really 

cool birds. . . hehe. They include Stitchbird, New Zealand

Falcon, Saddleback, Tomtit, New Zealand Robin, Grey Warbler,

Fantail, New Zealand Pigeon, Tui.

That was probably the biggest highlight from the holidays!! 

(Don't Judge me) The only downside in that bushy park trip was 

leaving. . .
