- Conservation status
- Doing OK
These species are seen from Northland to Stewart Island, and both subspecies are curious towards humans. So much so that the Māori called tomtits “torotoro”, as they appear from nowhere in the forest like spies. Similar to fantails, tomtits are attracted to humans as they mix up soil and disturb insects for them to feed on.

ASB
ASB is proud to support the miromiro for Bird of the Year 2024. We have been around for 177 years and we want to make sure the miromiro is around for at least 177 more.
At ASB, environmental progress is part of our purpose, that's why we encourage our 6,000 people to volunteer to support conservation projects that help to protect the environment. We want to make sure that our little buddies like the miromiro stay in our forests for generations to come.
(Plus, the miromiro's outfit of yellow and black is the same as ours! It was meant to be.)
So please join us at ASB in giving the miromiro your vote this year.
