Can you save a family of NZ birds from the "Pest in the Nest?"

Designed and beautifully illustrated by Coromandel artist and early childhood educator Cheryl Sands, Pest in the Nest combines conservation and learning with a fun, competitive family card game.

Just like in the real world, predators can steal a bird. But you can block them with rescue cards and save an entire family of New Zealand Birds. The first player to collect a family wins.
