The World's Fattest Parrot, Kākāpō, Named New Zealand's Bird Of The Year For 2020

Entrants could vote for up to five birds, ranking them in order of choice. This year's poll was pushed back to avoid a clash with New Zealand's parliamentary election. Under the last Labour-Green government, the Department of Conservation - the government agency in charge of looking after native species - received the biggest funding boost it has had in 15 years. The government has promised to put cameras on all commercial fishing boats, and New Zealand has a goal to be predator free by 2050.
