Bio poem

Toroa

Majestic, Magnificent, Endangered, Wide-winged

Lover of hanging out with their hoa, clacking and clappering like noisy neighbours.

Who feels scared of those flags that flap around even though they are a safety device.

Who needs their tubenose system to filter out the unhealthy salt from their body.

Who gave their body parts to Pakeha to make tobacco pouches and pipe stems.

Who fears the thousands of baited hooks that fishing boats set which could kill tens of thousands of their whanau.

Who would like fisherman to use strategies to avoid catching and killing albatross and other sea birds.

Who comes from the freezing cold Southern Ocean that leads to Antarctica.

Albatross
