This a tile version of the #pūteketeke I drew in #procreate
This got used on a beer label at work #oatkuiture but I think it would make a great wallpaper.

#JohnOliver helped push the #Puteketeke to #BirdOfTheCentury. We made a special beer featuring the fruits of his most excellent efforts: Oat Kuiture Fresh Hop Oat Kuit Beer (a Dutch beer style). Check out our BTS video for the label: https://youtu.be/FcTXaKfCpUk

This happened last November, but I just found out about it and the whole thing is cracking me up! 🤣

“The Last Week Tonight host ruffled some feathers as his unhinged campaign pushed the bird to the top of Forest and Bird's 100th anniversary contest”

John Oliver-Backed Puking Pūteketeke Wins New Zealand Bird of the Century Poll

John Oliver's recent 'Last Week Tonight' segment has derailed the voting process for 'Bird of the Century' in New Zealand.

Rolling Stone

We were passing Te Roto o Wairewa/Lake Forsyth this afternoon, and were lucky to find a group of at least 20 pūteketeke/Australasian crested grebes on the lake by the picnic area.

Thanks to comedian John Oliver, in 2023 this species was voted Aotearoa-NZ's Bird of the Century.

Admittedly, they are pretty fabulous.

The threatened Australasian crested grebe, or pūteketeke, was thrown into the global spotlight by a powerful backer, British-American comedian and talkshow host John Oliver.
