A Little Bird is Topflite's colourful newsletter for animal and nature lovers, flying into over 7000 inboxes each month.
It’s for the seasoned fancier, the keeper of cavies, the flockmaster of chooks, and also for anyone who just loves watching kererū from the kitchen window. Whatever the feather, A Little Bird has something to tell you.
The latest from the perch
Grit, gizzards & good eggs
Every chook needs to hit the grit. But did you know that there are two types of grit, each serving a different purpose?
In search of the golden poo
Find out why fibre is a critical part of your rabbit's diet – and what it has to do with the sought-after ‘golden poo’.
Meet the kererū
Famous for its clumsy antics, this chonky native pigeon has a huge appetite and an even bigger role in our forests.
Beyond good health for pets
Every Topflite purchase helps conservation initiatives fly a little higher.
Through The Soar Initiative, we provide support at a national, local and individual level to help New Zealand’s nature soar ahead.

The South Island Wildlife Hospital is a non-profit facility that treats and rehabilitates injured wildlife in the South Island. Thanks to their highly specialised work, many wild and native birds return to the sea and sky in good health.
As coordinators of over 70 trapping groups, the Whakatipu Wildlife Trust supports volunteers to eliminate harmful predators – with the ultimate goal of seeing birds and native wildlife flourish in the area once again.
