Default Bat named ‘Bird of the Year 2021’ in controversial decision

Bat named ‘Bird of the Year 2021’ in controversial decision


Nov 1, 2021

The bat is getting its due — at the expense of birds.

New Zealand has named the bat their “Bird of the Year,” despite the now-controversial fact that bats are not of the avian family.

Bats are regarded as New Zealand’s only native land mammal, and under threat of extinction — as well as public scrutiny as of late due to its potential link to the initial coronavirus outbreak in 2020.

It’s the first time a non-bird has been honored with the award, angering some birders who claim the mammalian animal stole the election from the rightful Aves class.
