I don't want to get too involved in this discussion on this thread. There is plenty of evidence of 1080s effects on all birds including kiwi. Let Google be your friend here.

Kiwi are killed by brodifacoum cereal baits. Same bait just a different flavour.

Except Brodifacoum kills over the period of about 20 days does it not? That was my understanding for possums anyway. I thought 1080 was a slightly faster version.

You are right in both cases. I was referring to the bait not the poison here.

Ah rightio. We used to use Brodi then changed to Pindone for one reason or another. Never had anything to do with 1080 so it is interesting to know!
