Koa is a petite bird, endemic to New Zealand. Despite his small wings, he cannot actually fly. This hasn’t stopped Koa from dreaming of one day catching a commercial aircraft flight, and being able to see the world from above. Koa has an excellent sense of smell, and is often relied upon by his friends to award the best candle at his local craft fair. He can often smell freshly baked cakes from miles away, and if ever you can’t find him, you know where he is: tracking down that delicious cake!
