National Identity

America's National Bird: Bald Eagle

(solitary, powerful, predatory)





New Zealand's National Bird: Kiwi

(flightless, rare, and.. uh.. stroppy?*)





* Stroppy: a fighter; easily provoked to anger; fiercely protective.

Actually, a New Zealand national icon that I think fits a little better is: the Bee

(Industrious, hard-working, civic-minded)
