Have you seen any for rooks?

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

If you hear the sound “Kaah, kaah" the regional council wants to hear from you. It could be the harsh call of rooks, a pest bird that nests in rural areas during spring.

Rooks are an invasive species that target agricultural crops. Every Year, our biosecurity team carry out surveys and control to prevent these birds from harming our environment and economic wellbeing.

If you think you’ve seen this large, glossy, purplish-black bird on your property, please cal the regional council on 0800 496 734 or email pest.animals@gw.govt.nz.

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Without a bridle or a saddle, across a thing, I ride a-straddle. And those I ride, by help of me, though almost blind, are made to see. What am I?
