Dear @whiotv, now that the #USElection has been decided, we have something a little more light-hearted for you. A duck with your name - whio - is aiming to be #BirdOfTheYear 2020 in New Zealand. Yes, that's a real thing. Want to help us out?

@Vote4Whio we saw two elegant whio on the Waihaha River a few weeks ago. You've got my vote!

A letter to Aotearoa.
You have showed your love
For the manu, the birds
Of the forest
Of the sea
Of the mountains.
Of the rare,
And of the common.
It's time now to raise up
This freshwater duck,
If you love your awa

It’s my time to come out of the closet. It’s been a journey to get to this point, ain’t going to lie.

But, team, I’m 100% all in for Team WHIO.
