THE WOOD PIGEON

THE WOOD PIGEON

BREEDING

Kereru (wood pigeon) have been recorded breeding in all months, but most eggs are laid in September-April. Pigeons in native forests have been known to not breed when little or no fruit was available. Their nest is made of dead twigs and a single egg is laid. Females incubate from late afternoon until mid-morning, then the males take over.







HABITATS

Wood Pigeons live in many types of forests, such as: Rimu Forests, Beech Forests, native forest and small forests. They also live in farmland and parks. You can find them in your backyard as well.









FOOD

Kereru eats buds, leaves, flowers, berries, insects and lots of different fruits, both native and not. Most foods are taken while clambering about on vines, shrubs and trees, at a few locations. Kereru spend time on the ground feeding on clover and possibly other herbs. Ripe fruit seems to be

the preferred food, in most regions fruit is not available all year round, so Kereru then feeds on leaves.




THREATS

The main threat to Kereru is introduced predators, such as: feral cats, possums, stoats and rats. Other man made threats are: fast moving vehicles, overhead power and telephone wires and windows, electrocution when perched on some power poles, and illegal hunting.




LOOKS LIKE

The Kereru has a white chest and blue-green wings. They have a green neck. They have a reddish back. They have a black-green tail. They are quite big birds; they are bigger than a child's head!






Their scientific name is Columba palumbus.

THE GREAT GAME I MADE

NATIONS AT WAR





To win you have to Conquer the most nations.


You have 14 soldiers, 5 blockades, 3 Conquer Towers and one temple


You can't put two barricades side by side.


To start a fight you need to jump onto the same square as your opponent, but you need to have the exact number to land on the square your opponent is on. Same goes with the conquer towers and the temples


Tell kill your opponent you need to roll a higher number than them, each opponent has 2 healths


You need 2 soldiers to start a fight with a temple. To start a fight with a Conquer Tower you need 2 soldiers.


you can position your pawns anywhere you like on your part of the board.


The game ends when all of the players are dead, the person with the most nations conquered wins


If you land on the watchtowers you get bumped back a space


if there is a Barricade on a square you can't land on that Square.


if you land on a Watchtower in your part of the board it does not do anything.


You place a Conquer Tower when you have conquered a temple.


Temples have 5 Healths and conquer towers have three.


If you are the last man standing you can choose to bring back half a nation from the dead. so that you can keep playing and have more of a chance of winning.


This is a 4 player game. But you can play it with two or three people. the nation that isn't being used is inactive. You can land on this nation's watchtowers and not go back a space.


Each nation has a special move, the air nomads (team on the white part of the board) can move an extra space every second turn, the Water Tribe (team on the blue part of the board) can move diagonal, the Earth Kingdom (team on the brown part of the board) can bump their opponents backward two spaces away and the Fire Nation (team on the red part of the board) can start a fight two spaces away


When you're fighting a temple or a Conquer Tower you have 2 soldiers who put their health together to make 4 healths.


To see who goes first, roll a dice, the person with the highest number wins.


You can’t put two blockades side by side.

THE BEST ART EVER

This is my Longest Line art. Before you start your art you need to know the rules. #1 you can’t take your pen or pencil off the paper, #2 you can’t cross over another line, #3 to finish you have to go back to the place you started and connect your lines. After you have done that you chose about 1-5 shapes. Next thing you do is draw them anywhere, then color them in. As you can see I have chosen a circle, a triangle, a teardrop and a rectangle.





I hope you want to try to make this art yourself.
