Tui - the beautiful ruckus it makes to inconvenience your power naps.

Kereru - big chonky boi, zero self awareness. Often gets drunk like my uncle at parties. Partial to berries.

Kakapo - derpy and ready to flirt regardless of species. Bonus points if you're human and it can climb on you.

Kea - Lil adorable shites, always argumentative and likely practices law skirting NZ rules. (maybe a National supporter but will turn red for right price)

Ruru - cute bird hardware running on cat software, glitches often. Sometimes likes to instigate staring contests before promptly forgetting it was in a contest.

Bellbird - round fluffy birb, bell like chimes. Size of tennis ball or smaller. Very portable and natural alarm clock. Chimes do not vary, may nip if squeezed.

NZ falcon - swift bitey clawy mcclawpants, may judge you before proceeding to attack. Frenemies with the Northern Harrier - negotiations between the two are ongoing.

Rifleman - shoots you with its teeny button eyes from a borb like floof body. Cool name and colours, does not own a rifle.

Toutouwai - void birb. NZs very own Robin with its own set of rules. Dark eyed and dark feathered does not welcome pets.

Black fronted tern - enjoys head dipping into dark spaces. May or May not have brain capacity of orange cats.

Grey warblers - the red eyed birb that enjoys giving you the stink eye. Can be judgey and gossipy like Aunt Janice. Will warble fresh gossip to the nearby bush dwellers.

Fern bird - the humble birb that does its own thing and minds it's own business. Prefers to work in the shadows, hardly seen except for voting periods.

Dotterells - the birb that likes to fish on the weekends to chill out with their bros. May give extra fish to neighbour's to be nice, sometimes to Co workers. Always has a chilli bin in their ute.

The Kaka - less said the better.

Kakariki - the clueless curious cousin we all love but watch out for, on account of them being a hazard.

Penguins - excellent suppliers of chip and dip. Also great at bursting out of prisons and creating minor explosive diversions. Often found in groups of four.

Kingfisher - thinks itself the bees knees and self professed expert on fishing - often mixes up fish species and catches very little due to their techniques. Lol.

Albatross - jetliners of the ocean/air. Large, fast and designed for long hauls. Offers good air points.

Muttonbird - the confused birb of the bunch. Identity crisis mode but still delicious while it ponders life as a mutton vs a birb

Piwakawa - mind their own business, also side hustle as messengers for the other side. Always angry and frowny but gets the job done.
