Thread: Has 1080 by kill struck again

[ATTACH=CONFIG]33202[/ATTACH

Kevin Hackwell F/B made two points in his interview that was supposed to cast doubt upon 1080 being responsible for the sudden population crash of the rock wren.
1/ Rock wren are insectivorous...(and so are the birds below Kevin, but 1080 is a powerful insecticide)
2/ That a 6 gram 1080 bait weighs nearly the same as a rock Wren....Somehow this was to imply that a rock wren needed to swallow the whole bait. (1080 exits the hopper as chips and crumbs and part baits. Anyway the bird only has to wait a few days and the bait is like wet wheatbix).
This would be the worst attempt at throwing up a smokescreen that we have witnessed yet.

Nick Smith mentioned that bird repelent is now used. Well "Nick" if only you know what it is why don't you just tell the rest of us
