It's that time of year again! The Forest and Bird competition to see who is Aotearoa's Bird of the Year is back on! Every year I pick a native or endemic bird to talk about to teach you about some of the weird and wonderful birds we have.

This year it is extra special because Forest and Bird turn 100 years old this year and to celebrate they have added new contenders into the election that are extinct! So I've chosen two to talk about along with my ecologist partner Lily. This episode we talk about the Bush Wren!

Check out the website and shownotes!

The book Lily referenced but couldn't remember the name of was Bird Sense: What It's Like to Be a Bird by Tim Birkhead
