Bird of the Year book giveaway

By University Book Shop Otago | Posted: Monday Jul 07, 2025

Who knew, but our friends at @penguinbooksnz are Birders, too! Maybe they also just watched The Residence on Netflix and could imagine the lifestyle ... or working on Forest & Birds upcoming new book 'Bird of the Year' did it?

As part of the generous prize packs that @dunedincityoflit is providing, we will also have a copy of Bird of the Year to give away. It's not out until August, so you will need to be a little patient ... just like a real birder.

To be in to win, simply see us in store before July 11 and play a round of Birder's Bingo. Sensible T&Cs apply.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
A richly illustrated, affectionate celebration of Aotearoa's native birds, and the efforts we all make to protect them. New Zealanders love their birds. Each year, thousands of us take part in Forest & Bird's campaign to bring awareness to the challenges these feathery friends face and to see who comes out on top as the coveted Bird of the Year. From rumours of Russian interference to controversial mammalian infiltration, this beautifully illustrated book shares the vibrant history of this beloved event and profiles more than 80 native birds - and one bat. Perfect for avian enthusiasts young and old, it's a delightful blend of education, entertainment, and call to action.
