Is black-billed Gull endangered?
In October 2018, the Department of Conservation began a trial cull of black-backed gulls along the Hurunui River to control predation of black-billed gull chicks and other threatened bird species. In August 2019, after a successful trial, the Department announced a five-year programme extending to the Waiau Uwha River that aims to reduce the black-backed gull population in the areas by at least eighty per cent. The black-billed gull placed 30th, with 441 votes, in Forest & Bird's 2018 Bird of the Year competition.
