The rifleman is New Zealand's smallest bird and never sits still. They are so full of energy that they may have up to two broods per season and even begin building a second nest while still feeding chicks in the first. Some pairs bring in extra helpers to support their extra nests.

Oh yeah the tiny tree potatoes are back to try and win your vote for Bird of the Year!
Titipounamu tick all the boxes, they are clean, green snacking machines. Not only are they round and adorable, they are full of personality and incredibly feisty - they don’t let their tiny 7 gram size hold them back. They snack constantly and spend their days close to their mate making super high pitched calls to each other, what’s not to love! Vote tiny tree potato, vote titipounamu!
