3 dead kea last report. More to be found yet I guess. The average kea deaths in previous 1080 drops is around 25%.

Lets try and be scientific and not emotive on it shall we.

BTW,

"The "Battle For Our Birds" programme, which began in July, was in response to an unusually large beech flowering season which led to a proliferation of pests such as rats and stoats."

The science of the non target / secondary poisoning is pretty clear, along with statements from the manufacturer that 1080 is being used here in a manner for which it was not intended. It was only meant to be used in bait stations.
