A Bat winning Bird of the Year sums up 2021 perfectly
Long-tailed bat named winner of Bird of the Year 2021
A native bat has been named as New Zealand’s 2021 Bird of the Year.
This year is the first time the long-tailed bat, pekapeka-tou-roa, was included in the contest.
A bat winning bird of the year is diversity at its most inclusive but what are its pronouns?
Apparently the Bat self identifies as a bird so no judgement.
When you think abut it, a Bat winning Bird of the Year sums up 2021 perfectly, in that you were expecting one thing and then received something completely different and if you dared question what you ended up getting you were judged the worst human being!
Ever!
We thought we were getting the year of the vaccine this year, what we got was fecklessness, 10weeks of home detention and Liz Gunn claiming Jacinda was raping Mother Earth.
2021 is the year none of us got what we wanted, and we dared not question what we got.e
I nominate Hectors Dolphin for Bird of the Year 2022.

I voted for chicken. It’s the bird that just keeps on giving.
Hey come on folks. I won’t tolerate anyone disparaging bats. We have a lot to thank them for: rabies, ebola, coronavirus…oops
Hilarious! Yes if the bat thinks they/them are a bat, then they/them must be.
Any complaining birds just batphobic.
Oops should have read if the bat feels they/them is a bird, then they/them is a bird. To deny this is batphobic
Ozzy Osbourne wasn’t it?
Alice Cooper no doubt approves.
Fuckwits running this competition. They can fuck right off.
Lisa Carrington got 3 gold medals so can’t all be bad and we won the cricket…..could be worse
I vote the bumble bee for bird of the year 2022
I vote the as bird of the year next time.
Is this the same bat this is NZs only native mammal? Asking for a friend
I have done my own research on this and i am happy with the result. There seems to be a lot of judgemental battophobic people on the internet.
Very funny and clever Martyn
New Zealand. A place where the Bird of the Year is a bat, an animal synonymous with coronaviruses.
Yes as soon as the Forest and Bird propaganda axis minted the bat idea it magically appeared across all media and lo! the “progressive” herd all voted as programmed.
So yes it’s representative of where we are at for all sorts of reasons.
