Birds migrate so let nature take course
So the Conservation Dept is doing its usual busy-bodying, at considerable expense to the tax-payers, of course.
This time, no effort is being spared to move certain bird species, such as kaka and kakariki, and to lure others, such as petrel, to a small "haven" on a Hawke's Bay hill.
No mention has been made of why the birds chose to move away from this area, but, by God, we're gonna bring 'em back!!
There was a time when people let nature take its course, at no cost to the taxpayers.
