Thanks Dave,
Sorry, your book was wrong. My husband is a retired non-fiction book editor and he spotted them as I did straight away. Sorry to bear ill tidings. As you know Aotearoa is a Maori word now used as the name of New Zealand semi-officially and really should be the real name. I am very familiar with the pukeko.
I was very touched, as you know, by your poem.
regards,
Janet
PS: and I''m really glad that you read my poem. Thank you.
