Agressive bird has moved into Auckland

An aggressive bird species has made its way to Auckland, and authorities want it gone.

The red-vented bulbul is thought to have made its way to our shores on a ship or a yacht.

It's known to attack crops and displace native species.

The bird has been spotted in three parts of the city - Manurewa, Henderson and the North Shore.

Anyone who spots a medium-sized bird with bright red feathers beneath the tail is asked to contact MPI Biosecurity.
