alanmin4304 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 There was a colony here at Little River (Banks Peninsula) for many years but were knocked off by The Regional Council. They reckon you can recognise the bird catchers at the pub---they are the ones with their arm in a sling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Some people made a packet smuggling Ausie parrots to NZ then legally exporting to USA and I think that is what they were trying to stop. They are pretty hard to get out of Ausie I think even though they shoot the buggers. I'd imagine it would be more profitable to sell them here as they cost several times as much.
