| Description |
Canada geese (Branta canadensis) are a problematic introduced bird in New Zealand because of the damage caused to pastures and crops. History Canada geese were introduced as a game bird into New Zealand in 1905.They were protected under the Wildlife Act of 1953 and the population was managed by Fish and Game New Zealand who culled excessive bird numbers. The number of birds increased and by 1996 they had reached an estimated population of 40,000 in the South Island. In 2011 the government removed the protection status allowing anyone to kill the birds.It was feared that farmers would resort to poisoning the birds although this was denied by Federated Farmers. |
