	common New Zealand forest birds
		The wax-eye is a very recent arrival in New Zealand, in fact it's thought that it was self-introduced in the mid 1800s from Australia, perhaps when a flock of them was blown across the Tasman Sea by a storm.
		This little sweetie is a New Zealand robin or, more accurately, a South Island robin, since this sub-species is noticeably different than the variety that lives in the North Island of New Zealand, or the separate Stewart Island version.
		Like the fantail, the wax-eye and quite a few other New Zealand birds, the robin is very tame and unafraid of people, which is the natural result of evolving in a country with no mammalian predators.
