Hello everyone, this past few weeks I'm reading a book named Kaupapa Kereru by Ross Calman and I'm answering some question that is about the book. Here are the Q and A.

Comprehension questions
Answer the following questions using your own words, write in full sentences:
1. Why are the Kereru special to New Zealand?
The Kereru is special to New Zealand because they’re one of the native birds on the country.

The population of Kereru will increase and they will leave healthily and happily. They will not worry about dying because of those animals.
4. How would supplying the Kereru with plenty of food help with repopulating?
Food can help the Kereru with repopulating because the adults Kereru can feed their chicks with a lot of food. It can help the chicks grow up healthy and make other baby birds.

Endangered Kererū
Imagine that you are an endangered kererū.
Write a letter to the local newspaper telling them about what has caused you to become endangered and what people need to do to save you!
"Hello, humans, please stop illegal logging, hunting kererus because it’s killing our population and we are getting endangered because of what you guys have done. By illegal logging or cutting trees, our habitats or where we lived are getting destroyed and now we are nowhere to live in. By hunting kererus our population is getting lower because you guys are killing us.
Hope you humans stop what you’re doing to us because it makes our life harder and it’s killing our populations now we are endangered we are almost extinct. If we are extinct there will be no native Kererus on New Zealand. Can you humans please plant trees again, and leave us birds ALONE because we didn’t do anything to humans, we are living our life good until you humans came and start destroying our life. So please STOP, Thankyou."
