Bird Info & Submission Reasons

Riroriro / Grey Gerygone (Gerygone igata)

"I hear them around my house a lot, however I don't see them all that often. They have very lovely calls. (also I submitted them in the obscure birds poll and I want them to have a second chance)"

"Local bird, rare to see not uncommon to hear"

Tītipounamu / Rifleman (Acanthisitta chloris)

"Found all over new zealand"

"submitted for the niche bird tournament but disqualified; this is the cutest little orb to ever exist! They are "New Zealand wrens", which used to have 7 species before European colonization and now only has 2. While they are still songbirds, their lineage is so old that they are separate from the "true songbirds". They are also the smallest bird in NZ."
