ffs, we can't even protect our own birds properly. Typical DoC shambles.
they even know what they're doing. Remember the 1080 drops? Total chaos.
Actually I think it's great they're being proactive. H5N1 is no joke, and our native birds are already vulnerable. Better safe than sorry!
Exactly. Some people just want to complain about everything.
Yeah nah, waste of money. We've got homeless people sleeping on the streets and they're worried about flu jabs for birds.
a grip mate. Saving native species is exactly what we should be spending on. Priorities aren't always mutually exclusive.

Mate have you seen what H5N1 does to bird populations overseas? Entire colonies wiped out. Our kākāpō and kiwi wouldn't stand a chance. If a vaccine works, why not?
Just saw this on the news this morning. Ryan Bridge seemed genuinely concerned. Maybe for once the media isn't blowing things out of proportion?
nah but have you seen the cost? Thousands per bird apparently. Could house a family for that.
lol imagine getting a flu jab for a bird. Next they'll be giving them masks and social distancing signs
Everyone's a comedian until a virus takes out all our iconic species. Then we'll be crying about it on the news. Do better.
Reagan Shaw that's literally what they do overseas with captive breeding programs. It's not that weird. Maybe read a book?
A family vs an entire species? That's like comparing apples and kiwifruit.
I'd rather my tax dollars go to saving kiwi than another cycle bridge that doesn't get used. Just saying.
