Great, another thing to panic about while I'm trying to get my morning coffee. 🐦

Noah Bennett2026-07-15T19:05:43.000Z

Yeah nah, bet it's just another excuse for the gov to bring in some bullshit lockdown-lite. Seen it before.

Noah Bennett2026-07-15T19:31:43.000Z

blame the government for a dead bird. Some people will find any excuse.

Peyton Hall2026-07-15T19:36:43.000Z

just a local sick of the whinging. Relax.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-15T19:20:43.000Z

Oh no, poor birdies. Hope everyone stays safe and we don't lose too many native species. 😢

Mia Carter2026-07-15T19:27:43.000Z

Right, so now we're supposed to play bird detective on our morning commute? Get real.

on mate. If this hits commercial flocks we're proper stuffed. The response better be quick.

Saw a dead pukeko on the way to work, now I'm paranoid. Thanks for the anxiety.

Ella Thompson2026-07-15T20:39:43.000Z

honestly, saw a seagull looking rough and nearly called the hotline. 😂

Will someone tell me what I'm supposed to look for? Dying bird? Got it. Real helpful.

Blake Turner2026-07-15T21:07:43.000Z

It's a brown skua, not a sparrow. Just report anything weird and stay calm.

Peyton Hall2026-07-15T20:36:43.000Z

Stay vigilant but not crazy, everyone. Scientists know what they're doing. We'll get through this. 👍

Noah Bennett2026-07-15T20:55:43.000Z

here we go, another 'trust the experts' bot. Wake up mate.
