Possibly unbeknown to Cleese and Chapman at the time they wrote the sketch, there are in fact two species of parrot that live in the alpine regions of South Island in New Zealand-an area known as " Fiordland " for the many fjords it contains.

In March 2009 it was submitted to the New Zealand Geographic Board that a 2-kilometre stretch of the Upper Waiau River in Fiordland National Park be named " Anduin Reach " to honour the work of director Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, which was filmed in the country.

In 1977, the last 18 Kakapo on a Fiordland island in New Zealand were all male, though the probability of this would only be 0. 0000076 if determined by chance ( however, females are generally more predated than males and kakapo may be subject to sex allocation ).

Milford Sound ( Piopiotahi in Māori ) is a fjord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island, within Fiordland National Park, Piopiotahi ( Milford Sound ) Marine Reserve, and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site.

While Fiordland as such remained one of the least-explored areas of New Zealand up to the 20th century, Milford Sound's natural beauty soon attracted national and international renown, and led to the discovery of the Mackinnon Pass in 1888, soon to become a part of the new Milford Track, an early walking tourism trail.

Fiordland is a geographic region of New Zealand that is situated on the south-western corner of the South Island, comprising the western-most third of Southland.

Situated within Fiordland are Browne Falls and Sutherland Falls, which rank among the tallest waterfalls in the world and New Zealand's three deepest lakes, Lake Hauroko, Lake Manapouri, and Lake Te Anau.

Browne Falls is a waterfall above Doubtful Sound, which is located in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand.

The sounds in Fiordland, New Zealand, have been formed this way.

* The New Zealand government sets aside Resolution Island in Fiordland as a nature reserve.

Fiordland National Park occupies the southwest corner of the South Island of New Zealand.

The current government of New Zealand has indicated that areas of Fiordland National Park may be opened up for mining and mineral exploitation.

Red deer were introduced to New Zealand in the 1850s and they subsequently colonised the Fiordland Park area.

In 2009 to mark the International Year of Astronomy, William Hayward Pickering was selected along with cosmologist Beatrice Tinsley to have their names bestowed on peaks in the Kepler Mountains of New Zealand's Fiordland National Park.

Doubtful Sound is a very large and naturally imposing fiord ( despite its name ) in Fiordland, in the far south west of New Zealand.

Charles John Lyttelton, 10th Viscount Cobham, Governor-General of New Zealand ( 1957 – 1962 ) wrote about this part of Fiordland:

Manapouri Power Station is an underground hydroelectric power station on the western arm of Lake Manapouri in Fiordland National Park, in the South Island of New Zealand.

The lake is situated within the Fiordland National Park and the wider region of Te Wahipounamu South West New Zealand World Heritage Area.

The Fiordland Crested Penguin ( Eudyptes pachyrhynchus ), also known as Tawaki ( Maori ), is a species of crested penguin from New Zealand.

At this period the settlers saw Cook Strait in a broader sense than today's ferry-oriented New Zealanders: for them the strait stretched from Taranaki to Cape Campbell, so these early towns all clustered around " Cook Strait " ( or " Cook's Strait ", in the pre-Geographic Board usage of the times ) as the central feature and central waterway of the new colony.
