    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.

    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 am clearly missing something here.

    DOC clearly lists the Pukeko as a native bird. It is possible for a native bird to be placed on a shooting licence, witness the Paradise Duck.

    right. whatever. I've seen them shitting in my troughs ... and had to clean them out ...

    I've seen 15-20 birds in the evening ... turning over the pastures ... ripping the grass out by the roots ...

    but you keep believing they're a beautiful bird ...

    and its not like we're short of them ...

    You need sons and a .22. Oh wait you have them both.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    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 endemic
