Pūteketeke

Description

Bird of the century. Icon for the ages.

Feast your eyes on the magnificent Pūteketeke, the slender-necked, punk-plumed showstopper that captivated the world during Bird of the Century. Known for its outlandish synchronized courtship dances, the Pūteketeke (or Great Crested Grebe) isn’t just a master of style and grace — it’s now a pop-culture legend.

Made famous by The Last Week Tonight feature and John Oliver’s hilarious campaign blitz, this waterbird has gone from overlooked to iconic.
