A puking bird has been named New Zealand's bird of
the century. After a campaign by TV, host
and comedian John Oliver. Oliver's campaign even knocked out
New Zealand's traditional favorite bird. The kiwi, which
finished second in the contest. Oliver's campaign included erecting
a billboard that read Lord of the Wings in the
nation's capital Wellington and putting up other billboards around the
world. He even dressed up as a bird during
an appearance on the Tonight Show. The annual bird
competition brings attention to New Zealand's native species, many
of which are endangered.
