The Pūteketeke: New Zealand's Bird of the Century.

The votes are in, and after two bruising weeks of voting in New Zealand's Bird of the Century, we have a new champion. It carries its young on its back, which is very cute. It enjoys grunting, growling, and barking, as one does. It possesses an elaborate set of mating rituals, including "the weed dance" and "the ghostly penguin," which is great. It has a colorful mullet—j'adore le style. It has a propensity for vomiting. It is, in other words, a worthy champion. Its name is the Australasian crested grebe, otherwise known as the pūteketeke, and we think you're gonna get on just *great*.

If you want to do your bit to help these beautiful creatures, Forest & Bird ask bird enthusiasts to donate an old predator trap through Give a Trap, or add your voice to their collective call-to-action for birds in New Zealand. You can support Forest & Bird directly right here. In the meantime, we have gathered, for your viewing pleasure, a carefully-curated selection of content in tribute to the top five contenders from the #bird of the century election. Every last one a winner. 

Live, love, laugh. Grunt, dance, puke x

Round robin.
