New research shows that regenerating urban forests draws native bird life – including previously rare species – back into New Zealand’s cities. We’d love to hear from Guardian readers about whether and how your experience of urban birdlife has shifted over time.

Has the presence of birds changed in your city? Are you seeing more tūī, kākā, and pīwakawaka (fantails) or kererū in your neighbourhood? What are some of your favourite urban bird-spotting interactions? Are you taking any steps to help attract and protect birds in your area?
