Richard there are about 4 million live kiwis in Nz and around the world who would be proud to be called kiwis including Hayley and family. The Kiwi I think is recognisable as a New Zealand. Symbol. Hello Belinda!  When I said the kiwi is an endangered species, I was referring to the flightless bird, not New Zealanders, and I do recognise it as the symbol of New Zealand. In the last couple of years Hayley has certainly helped to put New Zealand on the map by flying all round the world with her successful career, and you must be very proud of her, just as her fans in the UK and the USA are.  When you come to London, you'll be a flying Kiwi too! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifSee you soon, Richard  |

Hello again Lothar! Thank you for a great report of the World Games. I'm glad you had a good time with Hayley, because it made up for you missing her at Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre, where I had a nice time with her! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gifSee you soon, Richard |

Hi ,I found this about the kiwi Emblem :
The Kiwi as an emblem first appeared late last century in New Zealand regimental badges. Badges of the South Canterbury Battalion in 1886 and the Hastings Rifle Volunteers in 1887 both featured kiwis. Later, kiwis appeared in a great number of military badges. In 1887 the new Auckland University College (opened 1883) featured on their Coat of Arms three kiwis, symbolising the confinement of the kiwi to the islands of New Zealand. Students of the University in 1905, began publishing a magazine called “The Kiwi” which survived until the mid 1960s.
The Kiwi symbol began to be recognised internationally in 1906 when Kiwi Shoe Polish was launched in Melbourne by a man with a New Zealand born wife. The polish was widely marketed in Britain and the USA during World War I and later. By 1908, kiwis were appearing in numerous sporting, political, and other newspaper cartoons.
During the First World War, New Zealanders carved a giant kiwi on the chalk hill above Sling Camp in England. In Flanders during the war, the name “Kiwi” for New Zealand soldiers came into general use. By the Second World War, the Kiwi was synonymous with New Zealand Servicemen overseas. During the war, the Kiwi Concert Party toured many battle areas. The Kiwi (New Zealand Army) Football Team which toured the British Isles, France and Germany in 1945-46 also enchanced the emblem’s popularity.
Today, New Zealanders overseas (and at home) are still invariably called “Kiwis”. The Kiwi is still closely associated with the Armed Forces. The New Zealand dollar is often referred to as the “The Kiwi” and the kiwi fruit is known as a “Kiwi” in some countries. Kiwis feature in the coat of arms, crests and badges of many New Zealand cities, clubs and organisations.

But it was a pity, she used sunglasses, because you couldn't see her beautiful eyes cu Lothar |
