In 2023, the Forest and Bird's Bird of the Century campaign announced the champion: The Pūteketeke!!!
After an "alarmingly aggressive" campaign by Last Week Tonight's host, John Oliver, the Pūteketeke came out on top and took the title of Bird of the Century. We absolutely love this global news coverage as it not only garners a lot of attention for our vulnerable native species, but also raised money to support the amazing work of Forest & Bird. Now you can also support our lovely birds by purchasing and wearing this sustainable design - $2 from each pair sold goes to Forest & Bird to support their conservation mahi.
These triple layer design is laser cut from white, gold and black ice cream container lids and drape over one another like the 'crest' on the Pūteketeke/ Australasian Crested Grebe.
Dimensions: large feather 3.7cm x 3cm at widest point.
Hooks: Hypoallergenic (silver in colour), clip on option available (silver in colour, comment at checkout if you would like clip on).
Made in Christchurch, NZ by Remix Plastic. We always ship plastic free.
NOTE: Each feather is unique with its own colours (and blemishes) - they are fully functioning and we celebrate their uniqueness, as we hope you do! Please get in touch if you are not satisfied with your purchase and we will do what we can to resolve any issues in a timely manner.
