- pihoihoi60%
Pihoihoi is a Maori name used in New Zealand for the Australasian pipit — a small, brown, ground-dwelling songbird found across New Zealand's open grasslands and coasts. The name is onomatopoeic in Maori tradition, echoing the bird's piping call. As a dictionary entry it is primarily of ornithological and linguistic interest — a reminder that New Zealand English freely incorporates Maori bird names into everyday nature vocabulary. The entry appears incomplete in the source data.
