You've chosen some great fun facts about New Zealand (NZ). Well done on attempting to put them in your own words as well - I know it can be tricky when the sentences are so short.
Visitors to NZ must get quite confused by the whole kiwi/kiwifruit thing. Have you ever seen a kiwi in real life? I've only ever seen them in the zoo.
Bye for now. :)
