It's nearly time for #BirdoftheYear2026. This year, I'm campaign manager for tītī | Cook's petrel. It's a trans-Pacific jet-setter with an underground bunker in Aotearoa, but this bird's emissions are actually GOOD for the environment!

I voted for underdogs in #BirdoftheYear2026 including the Skua again, even though brought the bird flu here and the Little Brown Creeper - not their fault they’re weirdos

Small. Loud. Precise. Expressive. Found in the Hutt.

MSL is #TeamPīwakawaka. What about you?

These petrelheads have emissions which are good for the environment (in Aotearoa, seabirds like petrels fertilise our forests, by carrying nitrogen and phosphorus from the ocean and depositing it on land).

This is your first (mute me if you have to 😅) reminder to vote for Ngaire and Lefty, a.k.a. pūtangitangi/ paradise shelducks #birdoftheyear2026 - they are the absolute biggest personalities and unsung heroes in Aotearoa.
Overseas friends, you can vote too! A BIRD ELECTION. www.birdoftheyear.org.nz
