Apart from this character, New Zealand’s birdy dress code is decidedly drab, so it's wonderful to see this lurid, splashy dresser adorning our branches. It already has an orange crown, but this year it's working hard to be crowned Bird of the Year.

The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary
The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary, a non-profit, community-led organisation, is dedicated to protecting endangered birds, plants, and wildlife. It is home to the largest fenced sanctuary in the South Island, playing a crucial role in safeguarding New Zealand's vulnerable native biodiversity. With approximately 2,800 native species at risk, the sanctuary's fenced boundaries offer a unique opportunity to restore and nurture these precious species. Nestled near Nelson City, the sanctuary provides a serene escape into the natural beauty of New Zealand's native bush. Supporting the sanctuary through a visit or vote will actively contribute to the restoration of local and national ecosystems, ensuring the thriving future of native species and the vital essence of the sanctuary.
