Bush Stone-Curlew Screams to Win Aussie Bird Throne 2025
Brace yourselves for the 2025 Australian Bird of the Year ceremony, streamed not just on one platform, but an impressive 4: Guardian blog, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok—because why crow on just one stage? Among the finalists is the bush stone-curlew, described with exceptional affection as 'dopey, anxious and adorable'—species traits no LinkedIn bio dare include. This feathered spectacle is infamous for screaming 'like banshees' and possibly losing track of its GPS coordinates, hence being 'never in a sensible location.' The livestream kicks off shortly on October 16th, 2025, making birdwatching the latest must-watch bubble phenomenon, much to the delight of ornithologists and confused neighbors alike.
