“The New Guide to the Birds of New Zealand and
Outlying Islands” is a field guide to the birds of New Zealand. And yes, there
are more birds than just kiwis on the islands, outlying or otherwise! How about
the Bird of Providence, the Kaka, the Kakapo, the Kokako and the Pukeko? However,
the big world with all its avian Orcs is encroaching even on LOTR Paradise: the
Eurasian Blackbird, the European Starling, the Mallard and even the Barbary
Dove have all established themselves in Kiwi Land, making the future of the
locals uncertain. A field guide published 50 years into the future may feel
strangely globalized…
