Booklet includes birds that have few or no relatives alive in the world today. In Maori eyes they are under the protection of Tane - "Tane mata nui" - "Tane of the big eyes".  He can see all you do – for he is a god.  On Earth he sees through the eyes of the birds that he created, and they are his voice too:  "te waha o Tane".  In this book are ornithological details and general observations on 70 of the most common land and sea birds.  Fine colour illustrations by Peter Scaife.
