ffs, just what we needed. another thing to panic about while the govt sits on their hands.

Riley Scott2026-07-16T05:17:00.000Z

you said it mate. typical overreaction by the media.

Drew Parker2026-07-16T05:30:00.000Z

poor skua. first to cop it. our birds are screwed tbh.

Taylor Wright2026-07-16T05:58:00.000Z

lol remember when they said it would never make it here? classic.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-16T06:27:00.000Z

so what does this actually mean for my backyard chooks? anyone know or are we all just guessing?

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T06:37:00.000Z

I'd keep 'em inside if I were you, better safe than sorry. but what do I know lol

Taylor Wright2026-07-16T07:07:00.000Z

ur chooks will be fine, it's the native birds that are in trouble. priorities mate.

Peyton Hall2026-07-16T06:42:00.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, I'm not scared. but hope DoC can keep our native birds safe, they work hard.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-16T07:35:00.000Z

guess we'll find out when it hits the headlines again in a month

Riley Scott2026-07-16T06:51:00.000Z

typical. one dead bird and it's all over the news. wait till there's actually a problem.

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T06:59:00.000Z

Drew Parker2026-07-16T07:06:00.000Z
