Nature is a compilation album by the New Zealand rock band The Mutton Birds.[3][4] The album, a selection of songs from the band's first two albums, was released in 1995 in the UK.[5][6]

Another compilation, Box of Birds, a double CD repackaging of the entire two albums, was released in New Zealand two months later with an almost identical cover. Box of Birds spent three weeks in the New Zealand album charts and peaked at No. 42.[7]
