This is the flightless parrot’s second win, also taking the title in 2008.
Throughout the two-week voting period, the Antipodean Albatross topped the leaderboard with the most number one votes.
But the kākāpō, the original “okay boomer” for the male’s deep booming call, bounded into the lead with most votes overall once the preferential voting system was applied.
Top 10
Kākāpō, Toroa/Antipodean Albatross, Kakaruia/Black Robin,Kārearea/New Zealand Falcon, Kererū, Pohowera/Banded Dotterel, Kākā, Ruru/Morepork, Whio/Blue Duck, Pīwakawaka/Fantail.
The yellow and black hihi, the only bird to mate face-to-face, won the endorsement of Adult Toy Megastore, and that of the Deputy Prime Minister, The Wellington City Council, the Wellington Phoenix football team, and the Central Pulse netball team.

My ideal home would have a big garden for me to explore and potter around while supervised.

I would suit a family that has had dogs before as I am a big boy with a bit of strength. I would love to go for walks with my new family and check out this wonderful country we live in.
When I have nothing to do I have shown the ability to escape out of medium to high fencing so I need a plan to be contained during the day that doesn't involve being tied or tethered. Going to work with my new human companion would be great for me.
I am not suited to a home with/next to cats and other small animals or livestock.
If you are looking for a bigger dog that is pretty laid back then make an appointment to come and meet me.

Earlier this year he was picked up by the Wellington SPCA with severe ringworm, which made all his hair fall out, and left his skin itchy and raw.
Gremlin’s condition had been untreated for some time so a treatment plan was put in place to help Gremlin heal and ease his pain.
After weeks in hospital and in the isolation unit, and months in foster care, Gremlin is a completely different kitten!
He has now found his forever family who have renamed him Van.
It is short for the word Vanir – the Norse word for magician - in recognition of the transformation he has made

The photos are from Rosa Marie who took her camera to Zealandia to see one only of the only mainland populations in New Zealand.
Although they are widely distributed throughout the New Zealand region, and are very common on some islands, they are almost entirely absent from the two main islands.
One exception is Wellington, where birds from Zealandia and Matiu/Somes Islands are occasionally seen in suburban gardens.

Mayor Andy Foster recently said the forecast increase looked “horrific”, and was likely to be more than 15 per cent. That would be the largest increase for residential ratepayers since 1995-96, when rates went up 16 per cent.
The increase has been attributed to the loss of income due to the Covid lockdown, the cost of replacing infrastructure, the library upgrade and Let's Get Wellington Moving.
