Thread: Pukeko legal or not?

I like them.. I even feed the ones that live in the creek behind work.
But then they are not shitting in my troughs either.

They have great feathers for fly tying.

Yup @Danny - exactly right great night flys - had some of my best nights using them in the Western Bays of Taupo late summer.

Great for a scotch poacher or taihape tickler - Oooops there we go again they seem intimately linked as a "bird of the night and honesty challenged" asa species....LOL

I saw one peck a mynah this morning as I drove past Western Springs, so I guess they're all right deep down.

I have a buddy that says genetically they are actually a relatively recent (but still pre-human nz) arrival from Aussie, seems they must have been blown over in a big storm or something

I detest that word. But I have to say if that's what they are, wouldn't that actually make them useful??

One of many sayings at work is "you know cunts used to be useful till they came in your size"

You see them everywhere around Brisbane. Pretty sure I have seen them at Jackson's airport in Port Moresby as well.

VC drop and give us fifty press ups while saying "I must not feed the Pukeko's" on every up.

Na I like birds, even raised a chick when a workmate put a arrow threw mum.
Good on em for surviving in the middle of an industrial zone, we have taken over and destroyed their habitat after all(in this industrial zone all used to be swamp/tidalestuary/wetland). Now its tar-seal/concrete and pollution.

I like birds too (especially Nigella Lawson and Elle McPherson) but you don't have to feed the buggers.

Good on you mate. 'Cept Mynahs. Nasty horrible squawking pricks of things
