Wrybill – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wrybill or Ngutuparore (Māori) Anarhynchus frontalis is a species of plover endemic to New Zealand [1]. It is unique in that it is the only species of bird in the world with a beak that is bent sideways (almost always to the right). [2] It lays its eggs among the rocks along rivers and distracts intruders by pretending to be in distress and moving away from its "nest".
