The kārearea is NZ’s only endemic falcon; an aerial predator capable of flying up to 200 km/h! A master of agility, precision, & persistence & its serious trouble! #VoteKarearea #BirdOfTheYear #TeamFalcon #ForestAndBird #KāreareaChampion #boty

Forest & Bird's custom brick kit - Pekapeka-tou-roa (New Zealand long tailed bat). They also have a little Kākāpō kit available, if birds are more your jam.

Penguins do a pink feathered dance in the Paris Olympics opening ceremony.

An Eastern Rockhopper Penguin and Kererū compete on the Olympics speed climbing wall. The pigeon appears to be tangled in its rope while the penguin races upward.

At least one Little Penguin (kororā) being killed by dogs every week in the Wellington area – that we hear about. #ForestandBird
