The pests are coming, run kiwis!


We are learning to understand and use the structure of a headline.
I know I can do this when I write a headline that grabs people's attention.

Run away kiwis, the pests are coming!
Kiwis hates pests especially the young ones.The female kiwis are mostly bitten by the pest. Auckland and Waikato are the safest places for the kiwis as it seems that there aren't many pests there. Spiders are the number one pests for kiwis.

40% of the kiwis hate spiders and 29% of kiwis have been bitten. The second kind of pests that kiwis hate are the cockroaches.  30% of the kiwis hate cockroaches. This is why the people who looks after the kiwis are trying to take the pests away from the forests so that they are safe.

Thank you birds and insects!

                                            No more wasps! 
DOC (Department of Conservation) had discovered that wasps are dying in the South Island of New Zealand because a lot of insects and birds are eating them. DOC scientist Eric Edwards detected that all the hives of the wasps had no honey in it. Scientists think that birds and insects eat the wasps to gather for honey, only to discover that there are none.
