Paradise Duck
|
Gamebird Hunting In New ZealandThe Paradise duck is New Zealand's biggest bird shooting attraction. Nicknamed the parry it is halfway between a goose and mallard duck in size. Both male and female are a beautiful colour, as the birds above show. The male is on the right. It decoys well and travels in large flocks. |
|
Swan:White Geese:Pigeon |
These bird species are our bonus birds for those rest periods between duck and geese hunting. The black swan came here from Australia, while white feral geese and rock pigeon are derived from domestic flocks that escaped into the wild. Pigeon flocks can number in their hundreds. |
|
Pheasant:Quail:Turkey
|
These bird species constitute New Zealand's upland game bird species. Quail coveys are free range, while pheasants are hunted on preserves. Turkeys are a real bonus. No licence, no limit, and big gobbler toms. Some turkey properties have populations numbering in the hundreds. The turkeys are all Merriam. |

Canada Goose
|
A massive bird, the New Zealand Canada goose is the largest sub-species in the world. It decoys well as this photo shows. There are over 100 geese in this pile and all were shot on one very memorable morning for three American hunters. |

New Zealand has a lot of ducks. The mallard is our main duck species and daily bird bag limits are high. In the Central South Island district 50 ducks a day may be shot. Hares, opossums, rabbits, and wallaby may also be hunted. Our company offers 3 packages. Contact: fairchase@paradise.net.nz |
