- In some trouble
Also known as the bush canary, mōhua live in fast-moving, noisy flocks. Based high in the canopy, they bring the South Island beech forest alive with their loud, melodious calls. They feed among the branches by picking off the moss and lichen to expose their favourite prey: beetles, caterpillars, spiders, and moths.

Inspired by John Oliver’s campaign and my own love of both politics and birds, I am campaigning on behalf of the mohua. When considering which bird I wanted to campaign for, the answer came to me via the label of my favourite Sauvignon Blanc.
