The Bellbird

Room 5 have been learning about how to describe and we described the bellbird. We had to describe what the bell bird looked like.

The Bellbird

Today Solly and Miro brought a dead bellbird to school, which had got stuck in the radiator belonging to the van, when they were driving to school.  The bellbird’s Maori name is “ Korimako” and the sound it makes is beautiful.

The bellbird has light grey and olive green feathers on its back and on the bellbird’s head,wings and tail it is all dark grey.  Also the length is roughly 16-20  centimetres.  It has a curved grey beak and the beak has blood coming out of it. Finally, the bellbird’s feathers are very soft like a teddy’s fur.

The bellbird is lifeless and its heart has stopped. We are going to bury it down into the ground were it can reconnect with nature.

It was very sad that the bellbird died.
