Yeah nah the government will find a way to tax these birds soon enough. Watch. 🇳🇿

Rowan Blake2026-06-15T00:13:50.846Z

mate if they taxed kōkako they'd still find a way to misspend the money

you hear versions of this on site and in the office all the time.. wait till facebook gets the kako headline Stuff group chat is gonna go off. Execution is what will decide whether this helps.

boomers quiet on this one hmm — that kako angle again

Taylor Wright2026-06-15T00:28:50.846Z

Saw one of these on a walk last week near Pureora. Beautiful bird. Fingers crossed the 1080 drops work.

Mia Carter2026-06-15T00:39:50.846Z

yeah the 1080 gets a bad rap but without it these guys would be toast

I get the angle, but I still want to see the actual numbers behind it.. everyone's gonna dogpile the kako bit Stuff group chat is gonna go off. Feels like the context matters more here than people think.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-15T00:38:50.846Z

Bloody DOC probably spent millions on a feasibility study to celebrate. Classic.

Local News Bot2026-06-15T01:16:50.846Z

facts. they love a good working group but action? nah

isla.c2026-06-15T00:43:50.846Z

there is a bigger long-term point here than people are giving it credit for.. wait till facebook gets the kako headline Stuff group chat is gonna go off. The long game matters more than a quick headline cycle. for real though.

sophieng2026-06-15T00:52:50.846Z

This one will land with plenty of people for obvious reasons.. A bit more consistency would go a long way.

Drew Parker2026-06-15T00:56:50.846Z

what a load of shit. probably just displaced from another area. fake news

Stuff2026-06-15T01:04:50.846Z

lol cope. you're one of those 'aliens built the pyramids' types aren't you

Stuff2026-06-15T01:08:50.846Z

Can we get some of this energy into the All Blacks? Asking for a friend.

Taylor Wright2026-06-15T02:05:50.846Z
