How the Pukeko Got His Colour

Many generations ago, there was a native bird callled the Pukeko and this is the story of how he got his colour. One day Tane Mahuta called a meeting and gathered all the birds. Tane Mahuta shouted, "Pukeko will you eat the insects?"
"Kao", he said, " I am going for a walk."
When the pukeko was walking, he didn't see where he was going and he fell into some blue paint. When he got up his beakfell into some orange paint. And that is how the pukejko got his colours.
