Reflection on Research on The South Island Robin

Finding information about the South Island Robin is something I wasn't looking forward to. To be honest I didn't want to do anything and just draw my time away. But it is a requirement so I have no choice but to do it. 


My teachers from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines taught me that Wikipedia shouldn't be trusted with information. With that in mind, I went on to find some other site. But before I completely ignored the possible correct information in Wikipedia, I read the whole page. It seemed right and reliable. I took down notes from Wikipedia and went on to search for other sites. Immediately after leaving Wikipedia, I found the site nzbirdsonline.org.nz. The format of this site is professionally made. Okay, I also loved the colors. I compared my notes from Wikipedia with the information form NZ Birds Online. None of the information contradicted each other. Wikipedia is more like the summary of NZ Birds Online. Every bit of information on both sites is correct and reliable. 

I had really weird thoughts about this. Maybe whoever wrote the information on Wikipedia based their information on NZ Birds Online. I mean, I went through other sites and they don't have the same amount and accurate information like Wikipedia and NZ Birds Online. It's a possibility, right?
  

Setting aside this ridiculous thought of mine, I combined the information I found on Wikipedia with some of the new information I found on NZ Birds Online. Now I have notes to be prepared for the upcoming assessment. Oh yeah, I don't have to do the assessment. Oh well. Learning about something new is fun and beneficial. And yes, I found my research about the South Island Robin fun. I'm into animals don't judge me.
