No 21 of Top 21 Animals - Harrier Hawk

The reason why I wanted to add this one onto the list is family history. My poppa helped this bird. He used to become a doc member in NZ but now he doesn't work for that kind of stuff, what he did to help this bird was make it not become extinct by protecting it. This bird loves to eat dead animals run over by cars, trucks or vans. U can find in New Zealand or Australia. This birds name is the Harrier Hawk. We have a lot of them around where my family lives. Here is a photo of one.

When ever we see them flying around the car driving to a place in the South Island near were we live we call it Harry. Its the nickname for the Harrier Hawk that we have named. We have another one by the name of Bella and of course Bella is a Bellbird just like Harry is a Harrier Hawk.
