CARING FOR OUR TĀONGA: New Zealand is home to some of the world’s rarest and most remarkable birds, found nowhere else on Earth. But their habitats face constant threats from predators, urban expansion, intensive farming, and a changing climate. That’s why we created Twitcher — to share their stories, raise awareness, and give our remaining manu a fighting chance. We’re deeply committed to protecting our natural tāonga, and that's why every premium upgrade helps to support New Zealand's vital bird conservation efforts. By supporting healthy ecosystems and thriving native wildlife, we can help ensure that future generations will keep on twitching.
