2 New species added to Te Awaroa and Emerald Coast

[drifting lion]

So, on Te Awaroa I have noticed that Kiwi Birds should be on there because they are native to New Zealand and they are very easy to spot so they should be everywhere.
Also, on Emerald I have noticed that there are Emu are native to Australia and they are very aggressive so they should be up to level 9 legendary and they should be very aggressive.

Now I’m not from NZ but everything I’ve heard about kiwis are the exact opposite of what you said. Particularly “easy to spot”

[covert wave]

Emus aggressive?! 😭😂

[peak portal]

I can think of a dozen bird species that deserve to be on Te Awaroa more then the Kiwi Bird, and that is including requested species like Paradise Shelduck, Indian Peafowl and Black Swan and some other species like Pukeko and Spur-wing Plover.

Also is there a chance you may be mixing up Emu and Cassowary. While I have no doubt that emus could be aggressive if threatened, I don't recall emus being an aggressive animal despite them winning a war against Australia. The Cassowary is the bird considered extremely aggressive

SHUT THE F**K UP THIS IS MY OPINION AND IT WONT BY RUINED BY YOU!

Also Kiwi is the only bird I can think of

No need to get mad bud, it’s an open thread

LOL they have 170 native bird species and you can only think of one? You couldn’t have looked anything up before making this thread? (This is a lighthearted jab btw). But in all seriousness it seems a bit counterproductive to add kiwis to the map when you’re presumably shooting the animals on the reserve to protect species like the kiwi, at least I vaguely remember something about that in the Te Awaora missions been a hot sec since I’ve played em tho.

Also just a little education snippet for anyone interested, Kiwis (of which there are 5 species) are currently listed as endangered, and although there are roughly 70,000 in the wild currently they are declining rapidly and an estimated 20 birds are lost every week to introduced predators and other factors (road strikes, habitat loss, etc.) meaning roughly 1,040 die per year. That means without management kiwis could end up extinct in the wild in roughly 70 years which is wild to think about.

I’d rather get feral cats, one of their main predators.

Or stoats or some type of weasel would be cool too
