Well since you liked birds so much here's a kiwi!

I restored this old drawing, this was my first take on realism a few years ago <3

When it comes to #borbs, few can match the sheer, magnificent rotundity of the kererū / New Zealand Pigeon.

A pied stilt stands on one leg in shallow water, the other leg bent upward as if about to perform an arabesque. The bird is black and white with long, skinny, pink legs. There is a blurry reflection of the bird in the water.

People who live close to the coast can often find penguins nesting underneath their porches. They are delightful creatures! #newzealandbirds #australianbirds

The Blue Fairy Penguin is the world's smallest penguin, found along the southern coastlines of Australia and New Zealand. Their charming "flipper paddling" is a joyful greeting among peers.

A black and white oystercatcher finds a tender morsel of food on the beach. It is facing right on the wet sand. It is bending over and its beak is touching the sand, with a bit of gooey mollusk at the end of it.
