TuturuatuShore Plover
- Conservation status
- In serious trouble
One of the rarest shorebirds. The shore plover can be quite the actor, particularly when parenting instincts come in during the nesting periods. These queens of drama use a “broken wing display" – where they cry in pain and flutter – to draw attention to themselves, and away from the chicks, when a predator may threaten the chicks' safety.

Forty Thieves is delighted to represent the Shore Plover. Tuturuatu has a population of roughly 200, making it one of the rarest Shore Birds. Known as the 'Drama Queens' of the island, it's a natural choice for Forty Thieves, who love a bit of colour & flare!
This is our first year working with Forest & Bird and we are committed to making an impact. For the whole month of November we'll donate 15c from every jar sold of our newest product; SuperFood Butter, both in supermarkets and online.
We chose our newest nut butter as it's packed with a range of crunchy seeds; delicious and healthy for humans and birds alike!
