Kei i a koe: Ō waewae hītekiteki me ō whatu pūkana!

You'll need: Your quiet feet and wide eyes!

1. Mēnā he makariri me tiro manu koe mai i tō matapihi, ki te kore, haere ki tō māra, ki te papa rēhia e tata ana rānei ki a koe.
   If it’s cold you might look for birds out your window, otherwise, head into your garden or to the local park.
2. Me āta haere, kaua hoki e hoihoi rawa – kia pai ai te tau o ngā manu.
   Try and be quiet and still – that way birds will pass by and land.
3. Whakarongo hoki ki ngā tangi a ngā manu. Me whakamātau koe ki te mahi i aua tangi.
   Listen to their chirping. You can even try and make the same sounds.
4. Ka kaute i ngā manu ka kitea e koe - 1, 2, 3, 4….
   Count the birds you see - 1,2,3,4…
