| Wrybill description |
|---|
| The wrybill or (in Mori) ngutuparore (Anarhynchus frontalis) is a species of plover endemic to New Zealand. It is special since it is the only species of bird in the world with a beak that is bent sideways one way, always to the right (in the Crossbills eg. Loxia pytyopsittacus the tips of the upper and lower mandibles cross because they are bent sideways in opposite directions, sometimes left over right and sometimes the other way). A 2015 study found it to actually be within the Charadrius clade, with its closest relatives other plovers found in New Zealand, the nearest the New Zealand plover or New Zealand dotterel (Charadrius obscurus), and then the double-banded plover or banded dotterel (Charadrius bicinctus).It lays its eggs among the rocks along rivers and distracts intruders by pretending to be in distress and moving away from its "nest". |
