Thanks @Rushy , I remember a few years ago someone was trying to farm Weka ( I think Banks Peninsular) it was either not successful or they could never get permission to kill them , Chathams only place you can do that I think .

I have just always reckoned that if you want a species to survive then farm it commercially. Imagine if the Weka and Kiwi were as common a chooks. Now as for Wood Pigeons, one of those buggers cost me a couple of weeks wages and a confinement to barracks. Who knew that what my grandmother had taught me was nice to eat wasn’t considered fair game on an army survival course. Anyway that is another story from a bygone era.
