Habitat destruction and modification, Predators, Pathogens and diseases =]

My brother and family live in the middle of it, I see native pigeons there now, for the first time ever. Tui's of course. There are some bright parrots too, but whether they are the native kakariki or others I don't know. Also peacocks, not natives, I wish they would go away, dirty, noisy and they really dig up the ground looking for bugs, voracious, they may not be good for the area.
