	New Zealand Bungy Jump Sites - Guide for travellers and adventure seekers
		The New Zealand's Information Network has prepared this guide for travellers and adventure seekers to help in locating our awesome bungy jump sites.
		The jumper hobbles to the edge of the platform, takes a deep breath and swan dives into space, free falling until the cord is fully extended.
		A rigorous safety code of practice is followed in New Zealand so bungy jumping is a relatively safe adventure sport here.

	New Zealand Swan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New Zealand Swan (Cygnus atratus sumnerensis) is an extinct swan from the Chatham Islands and the South Island of New Zealand.
		It was originally described as a separate species from the Black Swan based on the slightly larger size of the fossil bones found and the apparent absence of the Black Swan from New Zealand prior to 1864.
		More recent analysis of these fossils, and others, suggests that the New Zealand Swan was a subspecies of the Black Swan, and it is refered to this way in ornithology today.

	Black Swan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is an Australian waterbird and the official state bird of Western Australia.

	New Zealand birds - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As a land without terrestrial mammals of any kind, New Zealand was, until the arrival of the first humans, inhabited by an extraordinarily diverse range of specialised birds.
		When humans arrived in New Zealand sometime between 800 and 1300, this unique and unusual ecology became endangered.
		Consequently New Zealand is today a world leader in the techniques required to bring severely endangered species back from the brink of extinction.

		New Zealand is justly famed for its stunningly beautiful and varied landscape of coastline, forests, mountains and fjords, and its hard-to-match array of unique plants and wildlife.
		This holds New Zealand's greatest concentration of waders, and in summer has one of the largest populations of migratory shorebirds in the country.
		New Zealand's marine birdlife is far more diverse and richer than that on land and, on our trip, we will be looking for the local endemic, Hutton's Shearwater, a species that breeds 1,200 metres above sea level on the Seaward Kaikoura Range.

	Recently Extinct Animals - Extinct Birds of New Zealand
		Until a few hundred years ago, New Zealand hosted several species of flightless ratite birds, collectively known as the moa, which ranged in height from less than half a metre to over 2 metres, and weighed 20 to 200 kg.
		On 25th January 2003 a possible sighting of the supposedly extinct New Zealand storm-petrel, Oceanites maorianus, was made by Brent Stephenson, Sav Saville, and several other birders, during a pelagic out of Whitianga, New Zealand.
		The official word from the New Zealand Rare Birds Committee (part of the Ornithological Society of New Zealand) is still not out, but they are pretty confident about what has been found.

		This trip was the third New Zealand birding excursion organized by Ross Silcock, a New Zealand native currently residing in Tabor, Iowa.
		Birding New Zealand requires long treks between places, and often we would drive much of a day (through scenery that ranged from pleasant to downright spectacular) to a location that would add one or a few species to the trip list.
		One of the new arrivals was attacked vigorously by a nesting oystercatcher, but it finally made its way up the shelf and began to climb laboriously up a steep sandy slope, slipping back a good deal.
