New Zealand, famous for birds but not their invading animal guests, has whimsically vowed to exterminate millions of pesky predators threatening these feathered rarities. The bold mission faces a minor hiccup: the necessary technology to do so efficiently is still a twinkle in an engineer's eye. Despite dazzling plans, NZ plans to rely on shiny new tech fantasies rather than tried methods, confirming that 'eradication' now includes capturing dreams alongside critters. Wild predators beware, New Zealand might just deploy a team of scientists and blokes dreaming up something new – if they can invent it before birds start tweeting SOS calls in binary.
