No classic New Zealand beach trip is complete without that one constant interaction – the cheeky red-billed gull (or tarāpunga) eyeing up your fish and chips! They are such a familiar fixture of our coastline. A noisy, endearing, and slightly annoying part of our summer experience.

In reality, the “everywhere bird” is at risk. New Zealand’s red-billed gull population is declining, with two of the three colonies already all but collapsed, and the largest remaining one in trouble.

The decline of this species tells a powerful story about the underlying health of our environment. So that is why for this month’s free digital wallpaper, we have chosen to feature the red-billed gull.

As a token of our appreciation, we’ve also made a set of beautiful Christmas gift tags featuring stunning native New Zealand flora. To use, download and print out the sheet of tags, then cut around each one and stick onto your gifts!

We wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season and a fantastic New Year
