However, the sanctity of these avian populations faces a perennial threat. Invasive predators such as stoats, ferrets, possums, and rats have caused their numbers to decline. Many birds, like the famous kiwi, have either evolved to be weak at flying or entirely lack the ability to fly, making them easy targets. Endeavours to eliminate these predators include widespread deployment of traps, but the saving of these majestic birds necessitates more collective action. Many of the birds that do fly, however, are thriving. The Tui, a beautiful songbird, is not only a common back garden sight in New Zealand but also plays a large role in the seed dispersal of many endangered native plants. In the future, I plan to step up my game in the conservation of New Zealand’s birds and document the rife predatory problem. Spreading awareness is the first step!
