Farmland effective nesting habitat for endangered hoiho penguins, new research…

Oh great, so now my taxes are supporting penguins nesting on farms? What a load of crap. Bloody government wasting money again.

Sage Lawson2026-06-29T21:55:38.000Z

out mate, nobody's taking your tax. They're literally saying penguins like farms. Read the article.

We've had hoiho nesting on our back paddock for years. They're good tenants, keep the grass short. Not sure why this is 'new' research.

If I find a penguin nesting in my cow paddock I'm naming it Gerald. 😂

Mia Carter2026-06-29T21:59:38.000Z

the penguin farmer, I love it 😂

How long till the government bans farming near penguins? Wait for it…

Next they'll tell us cows are ruining the penguin nests. Been farming here 30 years, never seen a penguin give a toss. More green tape incoming.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-29T23:05:38.000Z

my point. They'll come for the farms eventually. It's never just 'hey look, penguins, cool'.

The comments here are funny af. Penguins don't care about politics Susan, they just want a safe hole to lay eggs. Good on the farmers helping out.

nah, it'll be 'penguin protection zones' next, you watch. Typical greenie rubbish.

Anyone know if this means we can get funding for predator control on our farm? Would love to do more for the little buggers.

Finn Walker2026-06-30T00:00:38.000Z

real, look at all the doomers in here. Penguins don't give a damn about your politics, Karen.

As someone in ag, I'm all for biodiversity but this feels like a slippery slope. Next month it'll be 'we found endangered lizards love your pivot irrigators' and we'll all be shut down.

Phoenix Reid2026-06-30T00:50:38.000Z

enough, but maybe we can help without banning things? Plenty of farmers keen to do the right thing.

Drove past a farm yesterday and saw what looked like a penguin waddling near the fence. Thought I was seeing things. Guess not!

Alex Rivera2026-06-30T01:02:38.000Z

Awesome! Hope you get one in your paddock, mate. They're beautiful birds.
