A favourite little New Zealand bird featuring high on the adorability scale!

Pitched for children's voices to sing, this is ideal for choirs and classes to sing too. Children will love singing 'Pīīīīīīī...wakawaka!'

Perfect to add to your travel playlist ahead of your family or classroom adventures!

Who will spot the friendly little fantail first?

"Follow Me!" Perhaps the Pīwakawaka will follow you too!

lyrics

The Fantail Song (Pīwakawaka)
JellyBean Queen

Pīwakawaka
Pīwakawaka
Flying round my head
Flitting through the kowhai tree

Pīwakawaka
Pīwakawaka
Tiny little fantail
Dancing through the forest with me
Follow me

Pīwakawaka
Pīwakawaka
Tiny little fantail
Won't you come and fly around me
Follow me

I want to hear your peep
Through the branches you'll come sweeping
And I know that you are seeking
Tiny bugs we cannot see

I want to see you deep
In the forest you'll come fleeting
And I hope that you will come
And follow me
Follow me

Pīwakawaka
Pīwakawaka
Flying round my head
Flitting through the kowhai tee

Pīwakawaka
Pīwakawaka
Tiny little fantail
I hope that you will follow me
Follow me....
Follow me!
