How The Kiwi Lost Its Wings by Alwyn Owen is a popular New Zealand childrens story.
Long ago when the world was new, the kiwi lived in the treetops with the other birds and played and sang all day long. But when a plague of insects threatens to destroy the forest mighty Tane calls upon the birds to save the precious trees. Who of all the birds will answer Tane’s plea and what sacrifices will need to be made?
