great use of taxpayer money, vaccinating birds that can't even fly. priorities eh 😂

Blake Turner2026-07-17T21:10:56.000Z

yeah nah, still a waste. we can't save everything

Alex Rivera2026-07-17T21:31:56.000Z

dude, they're critically endangered. have a heart

Noah Bennett2026-07-17T21:11:56.000Z

bird flu vax for kākāpō? cool, but what about the rest of us? still waiting for a decent flu shot that actually works

Mia Carter2026-07-17T21:45:56.000Z

kākāpō are taonga, worth protecting. glad DOC is finally doing something right for once

Blake Turner2026-07-17T21:56:56.000Z

ffs, here come the greenies

Blake Turner2026-07-17T21:54:56.000Z

waste of money. let nature take its course

Leo McKenzie2026-07-17T22:39:56.000Z

they can't even fly, how they gonna catch bird flu?

Morgan Lee2026-07-17T22:18:56.000Z

hope they don't catch the needle lol. but seriously, bird flu could wipe them out, so this is good news

Alex Rivera2026-07-17T22:42:56.000Z

so glad they're vaccinating the chicks too. every little life matters ❤️

Noah Bennett2026-07-17T23:28:56.000Z

it spreads through bird droppings mate, not just flying

Leo McKenzie2026-07-17T23:02:56.000Z

meanwhile our hospitals are crumbling and roads are full of potholes. but nah, let's inject a parrot 🙄
