Particulars at Chronicle Office, or Box 91, Hamilton. 980 In view of the damage being caused by pukeko and the substantial increase in their numbers, the Wanganui Acclimatisation Society has requested the Government to allow a short open season of 10 days from May 1. Pukeko are very numerous in the Wanganui district, where they cause a good deal of damage to farm crops. The bird has been known to disturb the nests of ducks, both wild and domestic. It is also under suspicion as a destroyer of pheasants’ eggs, but the Wanganui Society has no direct evidence as to its depredations in this connection. It is believed, however, that a short open season, as suggested, would be the most effective” way of keeping the birds in check.
