A Rare Bird

Ornithologist Perrine Moncrieff was a woman on a mission. Ahead of her time. A force of nature.

A conservationist before it was fashionable, Moncrieff was a pioneer in so many fields, but it was when she recognised the connection between birds, forests and human survival that her efforts really took flight. This realisation saw her do everything within her power to preserve habitats and species in the Nelson Tasman region.

To remedy the historical amnesia of Perrine Moncrieff’s work, writer Elisabeth Easther wrote this solo show that explores the audacious exploits of an extraordinary woman and reveals the vital role Moncrieff played in helping to conserve the flora and fauna of Aotearoa.
