The birds are back! You can vote for your top five incredible and unique native birds. Choose a flightless wonder, a long-distance traveler, or a favourite from your own backyard!

Unfortunately, many of New Zealand's native birds are in trouble and need your help. About 75% of land birds and 90% of seabirds are threatened or at risk of extinction. Their habitats are being destroyed or degraded by introduced predators, pollution, human development, and climate change.
