Who doesn’t love a bit of people watching? New Zealand’s native birds entertain themselves by observing the absurd behaviours of everyday human beings.

Our clueless birds are flying beyond the backyard—straight into more chaos! With their hilariously misguided take on the human world, they’ll bumble through new territories, meet unexpected allies (and enemies), and cause even bigger, wilder trouble. More laughs, more mayhem - all this from the Bird that Heard!
In Series 3, we find ourselves in Australia with both old feathered friends and new. And guess what - Australian and New Zealand humans are just as weird as each other! These wild misinterpretations lead to skew-whiff attempts at putting things right, which unwittingly catapults our flock into adventure...
