Fantail In A Kōwhai Tree

The New Zealand fantail is a small insectivorous bird, the only species of fantail in New Zealand.

What does it mean to see a fantail?

In one Māori tradition, it was the fantail that caused Māui's death, so it is known as a harbinger of death when seen inside a house. A fidgety person is described as a fantail's tail, because of the bird's restless movements. “Ready for change? A part of you is ready to end and a new experience ready to come forth.”

Kōwhai are small woody legume trees within the genus Sophora in the family Fabaceae that are native to New Zealand.
