Love the main guy in this. The series in general is excellent. A very tender portrait of the important work DOC are doing

[@brycenew]

Damn that was hard. Thanks to everyone involved in protecting tokoeka!! Is stoat trapping done around the head of that peninsula, or is the terrain too tough / costs too high to make it viable?

I don’t know if you could hear me cheering “NO STOATS IN THE NESTS! NO STOATS IN THE NESTS!!” all the way from Florida USA but I wouldn’t be surprised. Woke my son!

I am from India Why did you remove your live bird video from your channel. I always used to see him. I love videos like this. I hope you show that video again ❤❤❤

[@docgovtnz]

Kia ora. The Royal Cam live stream is still online, you can find it on our website: www.doc.govt.nz/nature/native-animals/birds/birds-a-z/albatrosses/royal-albatross-toroa/royal-cam/

[@gingerunit]

Just found vids.of your wonderful work What is 10 80 please?

[@docgovtnz]

Kia ora Chris, 1080 or sodium fluoroacetate is the salt form of the naturally occurring toxin, fluoroacetate. It is highly effective for the control of rats, possums and stoats, which are the biggest threat to our native birds. It is also biodegradable making it suitable for aerial application over rugged and inaccessible terrain. Find out more about 1080 and why we use it here: www.doc.govt.nz/nature/pests-and-threats/methods-of-control/1080/

[@caravanlifenz]

Thanks for saving our native ball of fluff.

[@OrenC-P]

I suppose it would cost too much to set up a small stoat proof fence enclosure for the chicks around there?
