New-Zealand's bird of the year

Every year New Zealanders vote en masse to decide which species gets the bird of the year trophy. The contest is organized by the Forest & Bird agency and they allow each person to vote for up to five birds in a ranked order. Your job is to decide this year's winner from the messy dataset that's been pre-loaded for you as bird_df.

The dplyr package has been pre-loaded for you.

Inspect bird_df in the console.
Pivot bird_df to longer format so that a character column species and an integer column rank are created. Use the names_prefix argument to clean up the rank column and make sure no NA values remain.
