Vote for your favourite bird?
Don't forget to vote in the Bird or the Year competition.
About 75 per cent of land birds and 90 per cent of seabirds are threatened or at risk of extinction. Their habitats are being destroyed or degraded by introduced predators, pollution, human development, and climate change.
You can vote for every type of bird from the Antipodean Albatross, to the Korimako or our world famous keas.
The Wellington City Council is supporting the hihi, which you see at Zealandia.
Voting closes at 5pm on Sunday 15 November.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
