@mybirdpins but where’s Australia’s favourite, the Tawny Frogmouth, as voted in last year’s #Birdlife and Guardian #BirdOfTheYear poll? 🤷🏻‍♀️

I scored 6/6 (100%) on the Common Birds of Australia (6) quiz at Bird Brainer! https://birdbrainer.app/

Went down to my local Tawny Frogmouth hangout to congratulate them on their bird of the year win and was delighted to discover that since I dropped by last week they’ve had babies!

The Australian Bird of the Year 2025 has been announced!

Congratulations to the Tawny Frogmouth! A beautiful bird and a well deserved winner.

There aren't many coins featuring the bird, one in fact - and it came out just this year - the 5c piece in the Aussie Bubs set from the Royal Australian Mint features a cartoonish representation of the bird. Pictured is the coin - courtesy https://en.numista.com/464491

And the bird, from the Guardian article where you can learn more about the contest and this year's short-listed birds: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/live/2025/oct/16/australian-bird-of-the-year-2025-winner-announcement-live

Bah. We all know the Tawny Frogmouth has won it this year. Why be coy, #TheGuardian?

Winner of the Australian bird of the year 2025 to be announced on Guardian live stream

Will the tawny frogmouth finally take the top perch? Could conservationist backing propel Baudin’s black cockatoo to the skies? Or will the gang-gang gang prove triumphant?
