I remember when this report came out:

Every week we have pieces of bread turning up in our property. One of our immediate neighbours is putting it out.
The Riroriro - along with the Shining Cuckoo - are favourites here. Considering a 50% reduction in terms of the effect of conventional predators, does anyone here then keep the introduced bird population in check, or at least do nothing to encourage them?
That sort of thing would not be popular though:

I suspect that in time Predator Free 2050 will need to extend to include a reduction in introduced birds - beyond the Mynas, Magpies etc.
I wonder how accepting the suburban environmental warriors will be of that ?
