Ok so I just learned that in New Zealand the Kereru has been chosen as #BirdOfTheYear! This massive,tank top wearing,fat pigeon actually gets DRUNK by eating fermented fruit! NZ, I’d LOVE to visit you someday, until then, here’s a pic of that absolute unit 🇵🇷❤️🇳🇿 @Forest_and_Bird
Congratulations to the kererū, winner of the #birdoftheyear ... We'll be drawing all the best berries for the roundest of boiz
A good bird gang! Kōkako, Tūī, Ruru & the big boss Takahē.

#ABbirdoftheyear continues with Mum Hook's Kiwi slippers. More avian bandwagon jumping to come #birdoftheyear
Day 8 is Fantail (Pīwakawaka)
I really love these cheeky beepers, they have some good solid little eyebrows.

For day 7 I could pick a wildcard, so I opted for some lovely long legs & went with Kakī.
A really striking looking bird and one of the worlds most endangered waders.

Catching back up! For day 6 was Fairy Tern (Tara Iti)
They are incredibly precious like actual fairies, as I learned the NZ subspecies has only around 10 breeding pairs remaining. 🧚♀️

Showing off them strong little legs! 🦜
