The fantail, also known as pīwakawaka in Māori, is native to New Zealand and has been present in the region for thousands of years. Fossil evidence suggests that fantails have been in New Zealand for at least 2,000 years, likely arriving with the first Māori settlers. They are well-adapted to various habitats across the country and are a common sight in both urban and rural areas.
