Yes! To all the grouches who get annoyed with a few humorous memes posted on their pretty picture pages once a year; scroll on by if Bird of the Year banter offends you. It's not about you, it's about the birds.
All these BotY endorsements; I don't believe them. Clearly you can't trust the polls. Pretty sure everyone is secretly voting Kaka for Bird of the Year 2020 and keeping in on the down low.

The Mighty Kaka having an epic skraark! Starts off slow and winds up to the best bird noises you can imagine... lisawest.co.nz/2020/10/kaipat…
Voting starts today at 9am! If Kaka isn't your favourite bird, (and they should be) give them your second vote, because no-one has a second favourite bird, do they? #skraarkflutetseep

@DecisionDeskHQ @JoeBiden Pennsylvania in a nutshell
Well done @EmilyHenderson @nzlabour & Maori party Debbie Ngarewa-Packer We especially look forward to more protection for our wetlands🌹
Talk about a bloody albatross around your neck! @VoteToroa @Forest_and_Bird
@Forest_and_Bird I will be writing to the courts to get this overturned. Toroa is the Supreme leader of the birds!
For those of you eagerly awaiting election results, here's an update from #BirdoftheYear. After 5 days of voting & almost 25k votes, here's the current top 10. The toroa is No 1, but that cld change quick with plenty of votes to come in & vote transfers under STV.
Many congratulations @cn_greenwell this is superb
