Calls for final flourish in feathered fray
The Wellington City Council is in a flap over alleged controversy in the BIrd of the Year contest.
It is backing the hihi (stitchbird) but a a progress report on voting has the council talking to its lawyers.
In the event of a loss in the polls, it is understood #teamhihi supporters have been in touch with Wellington landscaping businesses over the availability of their carparks.
The council had controversially tweeted to "stop the count" but was now calling for "every legal vote to be counted".
“If the hihi doesn’t win it’ll be a little hawkward, but we’ll have no egrets,” a council source said.
