Ostrich and rhea were my second and third guesses ;-)

manicpuzzler

LOL at least no one mentioned Ostrich or Rhea :))

Well done to those who got it :)) Onwards and upwards to those who didn't :))

Mariposamia

Didn't know that! I was thinking of the bigger ones (sigh!).

wjl1015

I thought emu as well :((

Another 'oops.' Guess it helps to read before commenting! Google says: "There is a 1oz silver emu coin made in 2018 in the Perth mint." About 3,000 were made.

Surreal_Heidi

I believe they do have an emu on an Australian coin. This is about a New Zealand coin.

redina1

I'm with the emu crowd, too. Due to popular demand, they need to make a new coin featuring an emu!

Surreal_Heidi

Got it!!!

Max_Tooney

(And I blame my NZ neighbor for not providing me with the answer.)

Max_Tooney

Emu by proxy!

jals

Max! There are not 2 correct answers. The majority answer does not make it right. lol

jals

I got it right!!! Whoo Hoo!!!

Max_Tooney

Not to fret, alias2v. Dual correct answers!

If Max is right, I am wrong ;(
I guessed kiwi.

Max_Tooney

Quite a few of us guessed 'emu'. Thus--by default--emu is now the correct answer.

ringleader

Not an emu. Wow. With today's technology one could fit an emu on a dollar. LOL Thanks Bonnie. I join the list of wrong answers.

manicpuzzler

Can't fit an Emu on a dollar! LOL :))

nanab

I'm an emu too.

Max_Tooney

Haha, yep.

patsquire

Great minds, Max, great minds.

Max_Tooney

Yep, I guessed emu also...

patsquire

Whooops! I was guessing emu! ☺

And the answer is................Kiwi

Kiwi or kiwis are flightless birds native to New Zealand, in the genus Apteryx and family Apterygidae. Approximately the size of a domestic chicken, kiwi are by far the smallest living ratites (which also consist of ostriches, emus, rheas, and cassowaries).
DNA sequence comparisons have yielded the surprising conclusion that kiwi are much more closely related to the extinct Malagasy elephant birds than to the moa with which they shared New Zealand. There are five recognised species, four of which are currently listed as vulnerable, and one of which is near-threatened. All species have been negatively affected by historic deforestation but currently the remaining large areas of their forest habitat are well protected in reserves and national parks. At present, the greatest threat to their survival is predation by invasive mammalian predators.
The kiwi's egg is one of the largest in proportion to body size (up to 20% of the female's weight) of any species of bird in the world. Other unique adaptations of kiwi, such as their hairlike feathers, short and stout legs, and using their nostrils at the end of their long beak to detect prey before they ever see it, have helped the bird to become internationally well-known.
The kiwi is recognised as an icon of New Zealand, and the association is so strong that the term Kiwi is used internationally as the colloquial demonym for New Zealanders.

are you sure that interview did not take place in Canada. ???

manicpuzzler

A Blue Jay applied for the receptionists job at the new AT&T headquarters. The interviewer, a bit non-plussed, told the Jay that the candidate had to be able to type at least 80 words per minute. The Jay demonstrated a 100 wpm talent! Not wanting to hire a BIRD for the job, the interviewer told the Jay that the candidate had to be able to take dictation. The Jay surpassed all other candidates. Finally the interviewer thought he'd be able to get rid of the Jay with "the candidate must be bilingual!" The Jay replied "Meow!!"
