The Story:
Not big, but brave.

The Fantail flits erratically as he follows you through the native bush. His friendly ‘cheet, cheet’ call, the chorus of the wild New Zealand sound track.

In mythical times, he is said to have stood beside the owl and stared down the sea birds before they went into battle.  Overcome with passion, he spread out his fan, jumped from side to side, glaring and performed a war dance. .

But this bravery also got him into trouble with the gods. When Fantail refused to reveal when his ancestors had kept fire hidden, one grabbed him and squeezed so hard that his eyes nearly popped out of his head. That’s why today he has bulging eyes, a tail that sticks out far behind his body and flies so erratically .
