Here it is, the bird of the year...forever! May they continue to speed around the canopies of ancient blue Gums of tassie to the Box-Ironbark Woodlands of Victoria. Thank you artist Mark Lording @ Frankston Tattoo #teamswify #birdoftheyear

Keeping a promise to all those who voted to get Swift Parrots to #1 as Australia's bird of the year. #Birdoftheyear #teamswifty

Come on @CSIRO everyone loves tawnies but you know why Swift parrots had to win—it's an extinction emergency! #BirdofTheYear

When someone tells you tawny frogmouths aren't their favourite bird. 😲 In 2021, German researchers found the tawny frogmouth was the most “Instagrammable” bird. So even if they didn't win this year's #BirdOfTheYear, they sure are loved. 📷 | Julie Marsh via WIRES #BestOf2023

Meet the Kereru birds, the drunkest in New Zealand! 🍇🐦 These clumsy birds love fermented fruits, and the alcohol in them makes for a tipsy spectacle. In 2018, they won 'Bird of the Year' with 48,000 votes. 🏆 #KereruBirds #BirdOfTheYear #EcoFreaky #NatureComedy

Nobody gives disdainful side-eye like a Bush Stone-curlew. Maybe it's because I called them "Goggle-eyed Freaks" in the @BirdlifeOz @GuardianAus #Birdoftheyear poll? Shot taken in Brisbane Botanic gardens.

Birding Big Day is around the corner, just a mere week to wait! Can't wait to see you all out there! #birding #birdoftheyear #birdlifeinternational #birdlifeSA @BirdLife_News @BirdLife_News

The #Pūteketeke ~ Australasian crested grebe has won Bird of the Century 2023! 🎉 Although the #BirdoftheYear election has flown by there is still room to be a "good egg" and support New Zealand's birds! 🦜🦉 @Forest birdoftheyear.org.nz
