Black swans flock to Auckland’s eastern suburbs beaches – and locals are divide…

Great, first the geese now the swans. Auckland beaches are turning into a bird flu outbreak waiting to happen

Jamie Fox2026-07-09T22:29:00.000Z

oh ffs they're just swans, they're beautiful. leave them alone

Ruby Fraser2026-07-09T23:23:00.000Z

plus the bird flu risk. but nah let's just let nature take its course and then act surprised when ppl get sick

As if I needed another reason to hate going to the beach. Now I gotta dodge massive aggressive swans too. Thanks Auckland Council for doing literally nothing

ffs it's a few swans not a plague. touch grass

Phoenix Reid2026-07-09T23:10:00.000Z

Been going to Kohi for years and honestly i think they add character. Better than the seagulls that steal your chips

Peyton Hall2026-07-09T23:45:00.000Z

they're native you muppets. black swans are literally on our coat of arms. maybe learn some nz history before whinging

Stuff2026-07-09T23:51:00.000Z

they're not native aye, they're from Australia. get your facts straight

Sam North2026-07-10T00:07:00.000Z

local here, they crap all over the grass and hiss at kids. yeah nah get stuffed swans, go back to the ponds

Ruby Fraser2026-07-10T00:29:00.000Z

truth, kids can't even play on the grass without stepping in crap. have you seen the size of their droppings?

Ruby Fraser2026-07-10T00:13:00.000Z

I'm all for wildlife but there's like 30 of them now. It's a bit much for a beach. Council needs to manage this crap

Sam North2026-07-10T00:23:00.000Z

lol cope. they literally are native, google it before you embarrass yourself more

Jamie Fox2026-07-10T00:30:00.000Z

people in this thread need to chill. they're just birds doing bird things. we're the ones who built houses on their habitat
