Behold the tiny champion of Bird Of the Year 2026!
Small but mighty, the Black Robin/Karure swings way above its weight. Representing the Chatham Islands, this tiny wonder rebounded from just five remaining birds to over 350, with Old Blue, the final matriarch, saving her entire species from extinction.
$3 from the sale of each of these tees will be donated to Forest & Bird to support their critical work in protecting our environment here in Aotearoa.
This is a standard Thread Project tee available in unisex and fitted sizes, Please check the size chart before ordering. As a rule of thumb, the unisex is a bit longer, and the fitted is a bit shorter, both fit fairly loose, but the fitted has a bit more of a taper at the waist.
- Screenprinted here in Aotearoa New Zealand
- Premium Thread Project tees
- Buttery soft midweight cotton
- Available in Unisex and Fitted styles, please check the size charts for BOTH as the sizing is different

Thread Project Epic Tee (Unisex/Straight Cut)
Thread Project Diva Tee (Femme/Fitted Cut)
Compared to our other fitted tees, the Diva is more closely modelled on the unisex. It has a relaxed fit and a standard round neck, rather than a lower cut or tight fit. This is now our standard fitted tee going forward.
