The Mutton Birds is the debut album of New Zealand band The Mutton Birds. Released in 1992, it remained on the New Zealand album charts for more than a year and won Best Album at the 1993 New Zealand Music Awards. It was among the records selected by author Nick Bollinger for his 2009 book, 100 Essential New Zealand albums.[1]

A single, a version of "Nature," the 1968 song by the Fourmyula, reached No.4 on the New Zealand singles chart. Three other singles from the album also charted in New Zealand: "Dominion Road" (No.31), "Giant Friend" (No.20) and "Your Window" (No 19).[2]
