Looking around here in Kiwiland I noted that the national symbol is the Kiwi.

Now this is the country that was once home to a Haast eagle, one of the largest eagles ever identified, which would make a great national symbol.  Instead they chose a rather plain, ugly, flightless bird.

And before any Aussies laugh, the national emblem for Oz is a large, bouncy mouse...

Why do you think there are no more Haast's eagles about? Because the kiwis slaughtered them en masse.
