National symbols of New Zealand

National symbols of New Zealand are things that represent New Zealand and its people. Some of the main national symbols are the Kiwi (a type of bird), the Silver Fern (a plant), the Southern Cross (a pattern of stars in the night sky), and the Kiwi Fruit (a kind of fruit). The Kiwi and the Silver Fern are especially important symbols, because they represent the country and its people. When you see them together, they represent a proud and independent nation.
