A Note on Native Birds
We love the colourful and playful nature that NZ native birds hold in our environment. In NO way, shape or form do our team harm native birds. The wonderful and diverse range of NZ native birds are protected and as Kiwis it’s our collective responsibility to help them thrive.
FAQs
Can you shoot wood pigeons?
The New Zealand native wood pigeon is a kererū, and it is illegal to shoot them. The protection of native birds is very important for maintaining their biodiversity. As for those bird pest species that can be controlled legally, No More Birds suggests alternative modes of control like trapping or deterrents instead. We strictly adhere to New Zealand’s wildlife protection legislation and will provide effective solutions for managing pest birds.
How do you eliminate birds?
Methods applied in bird eradication are humane, effective, and within New Zealand law. Exclusion methods that we utilise include netting and spiking. We also use deterrent methods, which include visual and audio devices; in some cases, trapping will be performed humanely. This would mean the population can be managed and reduced without harm but provide a safe, bird-free environment.
