The 2025 Birdorable Bonanza Is Almost Here!

Every year since 2009, we've celebrated a special annual tradition: the Birdorable Bonanza, where we reveal multiple new birds over consecutive days. We’re excited to announce that it’s happening again! This year marks our 17th annual Bonanza, and we can’t wait to share it with you, starting Monday!

This year’s Bonanza will kick off Cyber Monday, and it will feature ten brand-new Birdorable birds! That means for ten days in a row, we’ll introduce one new Birdorable bird each day. We've got a lineup of fun birds from all over the world ready to share with you.

Thanksgiving is a great time to reflect on things we’re thankful for, and here at Birdorable, we’re especially thankful for birds and the people who love them. Whether you’re a lifelong birder, a new bird enthusiast, or someone who just loves cute animals, we appreciate you being part of our flock. Thank you!

Be sure to check back each day starting Monday to meet the new birds, learn something new, and maybe even find a new favorite. 

Guess the First Bird

In keeping with tradition, we'll end today's announcement post with a teaser for the upcoming new bird. Our first new feathered friend is a loud little bird from Down Under. It’s not shy about making noise. Can you guess what our first Bonanza 2025 bird will be?

Probably a Noisy Miner (Manorina melanocephala) Also, Would you mind if the 900th birdorable is another Honeyeater, The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō (Moho Braccatus)? Many people think it's extinct, but I believe it's still out there in Kaua'i
