This leads me to believe they are Native. So Pointer was right and the people who tried to take there head can go take their own head off?

Pukeko: Wetland birds
I read somewhere a while ago that they were introduced from Aussie years ago but have been here long enough to be called native.
Here is the link.
Pukeko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They are thought to have come from Oz but are native?

I'm not the encylcopedia Toby,but it seems most Aussies get shot when they arrive here;)Quote:

Pukeko is a native, but not endemic. Just because something is native, doesn't mean we protect it, unless population becomes threatened. This menace is far from threatened...rather thriving, everywhere! Winter is a really bad time to be a pukeko on my farm
"Endemic" means a species exclusively living in country/land mass of origin. Every 'endemic' species is a 'native', but not every native is endemicQuote:
