Bird of the Year 2026

This tiny ‘goth’ bird was nearly extinct. Now it’s New Zealand’s Bird of the Year

By Adam Pourahmadi · Sep 21, 2026

Small, shy, and black from beak to claw — the Chatham Islands karure took the crown in a record vote. In 1980 only five birds remained. One fertile female, Old Blue, rebuilt the flock. About 350 adults survive today.

The Bird

Brought back
from the brink.

Jet-black plumage. Pink feet on mossy stone. Alpine light behind the lake. That photograph is the mark of karure — not a mascot sheet. The bird New Zealand just crowned.
