The result of an extraordinary ecological history, many of New Zealand’s birds are highly unusual but all are beloved
each year, with strict voting rules, and campaign teams for different candidates.
For millions of New Zealanders, the day begins with the birds: either outside the window or over the radio, where every morning the national broadcaster heralds its AM news bulletins with a native birdcall. Suggestions that “the bird” might be axed by the state network in 2005 were quickly ditched after uproar from listeners – the radio said it received 1,600 emails by lunchtime, and a woman unfurled a “Keep the Bird” banner from her apartment window opposite the station’s headquarters.
The scope, scale and ambition of New Zealand’s conservation efforts are “quite unusual”, Digby says. “There’s lot of work for the size of the country … a lot of a lot of frontline cutting edge work goes on in conservation in New Zealand – it pushes the boundaries a bit because it’s got such an unusual set of circumstances.”
