I blame the americans. They are such a bad influence.

About 1500 fraudulent votes have been cast for the little spotted kiwi in Forest and Bird's Bird of the Year competition.
The votes briefly pushed the kiwi pukupuku to the top of the preferred bird leaderboard, but they have subsequently been removed.
The votes were cast in the early hours of Monday morning and the fraud was discovered that afternoon.
"It's lucky we spotted this little kiwi trying to sneak in an extra 1500 votes under the cover of darkness," Bird of the Year spokesperson Laura Keown said.
