New Zealand may not have the Taj Mahal, the Sistine Chapel or any half decent theme parks but we do have some of the most unique birdlife in the world.
Jeremy Wells tackles unfamiliar territory in a TV series that has him celebrating (and sometimes salivating over) this country's exceptional bird life. The show takes viewers on an unconventional yet informative journey that soaks up some of our most beautiful scenery, our most glorious birds and some wonderfully eccentric characters of the birding world.
Among other things, Wells visits the Moa graveyard of Karamea (found only after a eight hour underground caving expedition), meets the talking Tui of Whangarei, (his name is Woof Woof), and explores the arcane world of poultry and pigeon breeders at their annual competition.
“It's got Jeremy Wells in it, so it's going to be bit naughty. Well, a bit irreverent. He's mellowed since Newsboy, but that doesn't stop him determinedly setting out to offend.” – Stuff.co.nz
