Goldmark's Kiwi

Signed driftwood assemblage.

In the islands of New Zealand, mammals, for millennia, were all but non-existent. Thus the birds flourished and evolved to fill the shoes of their furred contemporaries. Giant Moas, browsing on trees and shrubs, filled the niche occupied elsewhere by deer. The Takahe, cropping the grasses of the misty highlands, took the role of the rabbit. And the kiwi, sleeping by day in an underground burrow and emerging at dusk to feast upon earthworms, became an avian badger. This is Sid's version.
