On this election day after you have voted in your local elections consider
voting in an election that's little more light hearted. New Zealand's Bird of

It's a chance to exercise your vote in a fun way and support some birds that

“Eighty-two percent of our living native bird species are threatened or at risk
of extinction. We cannot let any more end up with the tragic fate of the
laughing owl or the huia.”
