Infamous Titirangi chickens 'bok' on the streets after $25k removal

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, feral chickens that terrorised children and were blamed for an infestation of “cat-sized” rats are back on the streets, despite politicians spending thousands to remove them.

Titirangi has battled poultry problems for years and in 2019, the Waitākere Local Board paid $25,000 to get rid of more than 200 birds.

The removal of the chickens was requested by the majority of locals and 240 of the birds were captured and re-homed, but local board deputy chairperson Greg Presland said not every single bird was captured.

Years on, a flock of about 30 birds are roosting by Titirangi library, driving residents “mad” with constant crowing.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
