Sophie Ngata2026-07-20T03:02:31.000Z

Quinn Murphy2026-07-20T03:14:31.000Z

Tom Harris2026-07-20T03:45:31.000Z

actually this is a real concern for native bird populations. do some research

Alex Rivera2026-07-20T03:34:31.000Z

NZ Herald2026-07-20T03:46:31.000Z

Sophie Ngata2026-07-20T04:10:31.000Z

Noah Bennett2026-07-20T04:21:31.000Z

15 bookings cancelled and we all have to hear about it. focus on real problems maybe

Ben Sullivan2026-07-20T04:48:31.000Z

sad but necessary. humans are the real threat to birds usually

RNZ2026-07-20T05:14:31.000Z
