NZ is a different situation though. It's an isolated ecosystem with no native bird predators.

People only arrived there ~1000 years ago. Europeans less than 200.

oh yeah, I think they're justified in banning cats, honestly. the birds have been devastated. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:42 2
- I don't know about banning - rats eating bird eggs have probably done more damage. But they should definitely be aware that cats aren't really part - Roger More Jan 31, 13:47 1
