PLEASE VOTE for the Bird of the Year!

Don’t worry. I am not running another poll.
I am just telling you that the annual Bird of the Year poll is LIVE on birdoftheyear.org.nz!
You may vote for up to five different bird species. The poll is run by the New Zealand-based Forest & Bird, so all candidates are species native to New Zealand.
Your vote helps generate conservation awareness!

I was ready to chase you.
It seems the first rule is to vote in something with weird names, if not, look at the last winners.
2016 Kōkako
2017 Kea
2018 Kereru
2019 Hoiho
2020 Kakapo

Curiously I have 3 of these in my collection. What to vote now? Kakariki, pukeko, kiwi,

In fact, it’s not just those. Nearly ALL of the candidates have Māori names that sound unusual to English speakers.
