You could say we’re evolution’s concierge. You could say we’re flexible foragers with a complicated backstory. But with crashing population and weak protection, you’ve got to say we’re a bird in serious trouble.
Who's a handsome bird? We are! 🤩

More about the analysis (and charts!) available on request. But the main thing is a big THANK YOU. Every bird had a campaign and every campaign lifted their bird's game. So good.

TYSM! We await results ready to toast victory (i.e., out of the cellar) or drown sorrows in Elephant Seal milk. With you on the Takahē situation.

It happens, and there is always next year. Except for the avian influenza thing. OMMV.

We're a small time operation and appreciate your support! It's the only way we have a chance. We've gravitated toward anti-heroes, reluctant heroes with complicated narratives. Some people categorised as pirates certainly fit in that space.
