Russian interference knows no bounds.

New Zealand is the latest in a series of countries to accuse Russia of tampering with a vote … this time for bird of the year.

The hoiho, an endangered, antisocial yellow-eyed penguin, snatched the 2019 title Monday with an overwhelming victory over its other feathered competitors. Organizers observed “decent numbers of votes from Russia,” leading to interference claims on social media that they were quick to shoot down.

"There could be a reasonable explanation for why we're getting those votes; it could be bird lovers from Russia getting in on the game,” said Megan Hubscher, a spokesperson for the Forest and Bird conservation group that runs the vote.
