Even the locals didn’t get to see it, we first heard about it when it made front page of the Advertiser. In regards to the NZ article, it’s good to know that Mt Gambier has a beach, I should now be able to increase the cities bird list significantly, I thought the nearest beach was 30 km away, maybe someone needs to explain to me what constitutes a beach??”
On a more serious note, wouldn’t the process involved in getting the bird back to NZ be filled with difficulty anyway?, like who’s going to pay for the birds care while it’s in quarantine, the NZers aren’t going to just allow the bird to come off the plane and be released, it would be a very time consuming and costly avenue to take I would imagine.
