request for magpie info

["Peter Ewin" <>]

Blackbirds and Song Thrushes are self-introduced to LHI, supposedly from the 
introduced populations in NZ. The occassional records of Yellowhammer and 
Chaffinch from LHI and Redpoll from Macquarie Island are also from the same.
However, I can't think of any native NZ bird being introduced anywhere 
outside of NZ (most are too rare to start off with).
Cheers,
Peter
