At the merch table on this tour, the band has been selling the Beths masks, a nifty item emblazoned with a guitar-shredding pukeko bird.

Modern-day Kahu huruhuru are often made from the feathers of birds killed by predators or on motorways, because many native New Zealand birds such as the Kereru and Pukeko are endangered and protected species.

The takahe is twice the size of the pukeko, but they have similar colouring.

The statement said a takahe bird was mistakenly shot during a pukeko cull seven years ago, prompting the introduction of guidelines which were used during this cull, which began last week.

Local hunters were permitted to cull pukeko birds on Motutapu Island.
