The Wrybill is a small shorebird native to New Zealand, known for its unique, laterally bent bill that helps it forage for insects and crustaceans in riverbeds and mudflats. This distinctive feature allows the bird to probe into the substrate, making it well-adapted to its environment. Wrybills are migratory, often traveling to breeding grounds in the South Island during the warmer months. They are typically found in flocks and are recognized by their gray plumage and white underparts. Conservation efforts are in place to protect their habitats, as they face threats from habitat loss and predation.
