The Totem bird of the week for Monday 2nd December 2019 to Sunday 8th December 2019 is the New Zealand Stitchbird, a rare small Honeyeater also known as the 'Hihi'.
The stitchbird or hihi is a honeyeater-like bird endemic to the North Island and adjacent offshore islands of New Zealand. Its evolutionary relationships have long puzzled ornithologists, but it is now classed as the only member of its own family, the Notiomystidae. It became rare, being extirpated everywhere except Little Barrier Island, but has been reintroduced to two other island sanctuaries and four locations on the North Island mainland.
As a totem bird it represents balance, and knowing how to balance your energy; being selective about how you receive and give out your energy; singing your song; possessing the ability to balance the energy of others; seeking and finding clarity, getting what's yours; learning to be happy with blending into your surroundings.[Wildspeak]
