A New Zealnd collegue sent me newspaper article about the release of the Kokako on The island of Tiritiri in Hauraki Gulf. Apparently there are an estimated 2000 birds in New Zealand but only 400 breeding pairs. The reason for their decline is stated in this story as habitat loss and predation of nests by rats and possums? Are possums predators of birds in Australia or is this purely a New Zealnd phenomon? -- Allan Benson Phone 02 9874 7841 |
