Vote whio as the Forest & Bird ‘Bird of the Year’ 🦆 Let's help the blue duck soar to victory! The native whio is one of the rarest birds in Aotearoa. They have an unusual bill, forward-facing eyes like a human, and appear on our $10 note, but they’ve yet to win the ‘Bird of the Year’ title – let’s change that! We proudly support whio recovery efforts through the Whio Forever programme. Voting closes soon. Vote for whio here: www.birdoftheyear.org.nz #BirdOfTheYear | Genesis

"Releasing birds is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. Seeing birds you have seen develop from eggs all the way to this point, gives you a real sense of pride and accomplishment" says Olly Gooday, our Wildlife Keeper who attended the release. "When the whio were released they were initially whisked away by the strong current and I wondered if we had given them sufficient swimming lessons" - but their superior swimming ability is soon evident. | The Isaac Conservation and Wildlife Trust
