New Zealand is incredible. I would love to go sometime!
Haha yeah I added the scientific name after Josh suggested it. Thanks guys!
When I gave my comment, it didn't have a scientific name.
What are you talking about josh?
Nice! This is one of my favorite species of bird!! If you add the scientific name, Nestor notabilis, your spotting can be removed from the unidentified list.
