The story of the kororā (little penguin) found tangled in a fishing line two weeks ago has had a happy ending.
On Monday he was released to the Napier Port kororā sanctuary by Rebekah Cuthbert, National Aquarium of New Zealand supervisor birds, and Liv Flynn of Hawke s Bay Bird and Wildlife Rescue Charitable Trust.
Whether the poisonings were deliberate or accidental, Flynn wasn’t sure. “The user has a legal obligation to prevent secondary poisoning to our pets and other wildlife species and to prevent non-target species coming into contact with this,” she said. Flynn said the trust understood “mistakes can and do happen,” but she urged people to stick to the guidelines when using the toxin to control pest numbers. “Our native species are making a comeback within Hawke’s Bay. It s very exciting.” Flynn said if residents had issues with pest species, other long-term methods that were safe and poison freecould be used.
