A tiny tauhou (silvereye) staring straight down the camera. What an absolutely excellent face on this wee manu! So round, so perfect.

I’m a chippy little pīwakawaka who flits here and there, a messenger from the gods to the people. I bring a message for all - we have no time for bigots who can’t accept people for who they are - we celebrate and love everyone, quirks and all! ❤️

Did you know a group of tūī is called an ecstasy, a group of kākā is a hoon and a group of kākāpō is a booming?? 🤯 Learn all the collective nouns for Aotearoa’s manu in this very rad book by Melissa Boardman; reserve a copy here bit.ly/3tG3pJf

Kareena Conn @FeddemaKim Birds of Aotearoa Birds New Zealand So good! You’re amazing! I am so supportive of your quest 😊 do you get involved much in the conservation side of the birds?

It’s pretty rad seeing my book in my local library!

I’m a mallard duck
And I don’t give a f*ck
For terfy bigots who
Are nothing but a big, fat poo

Also, do you like my dog mask? #WearYourMask

I’m a tarapunga or a red-bill gull. We’re a common native species of Aotearoa & mostly found on the coastline except for one group who found Rotovegas pretty choice!! We’re an inclusive bunch who will eat anything 😁

One minute of tūī feeding at the sugar water feeder in my garden. Bit of a different perspective huh. Definitely keeping me entertained during lockdown!
