@AWESOME90002 - thank you very much mate! Nothing much beats a nice walk in the country and some good birds... especially if a pub lunch if it can be factored in too! :-)
If by Mercury you mean the element rather than the planet, then I think leaked mercury poisoning in seeds has had a negative effect on some songbird populations (including yellowhammers) in the not too distant past. Other than that, I think you've got to go back to your teacher I'm afraid! Regards.
Cheers NZWolf2, I agree. Although do you know if most New Zealanders like them, seeing as they're yet another European bird that was introduced over there and went on to do very well?
COOL ORNITHOLOGY BRO.

Well they aren't a very common avairy bird but they don't do any harm to our eco-systems. I think most NZers are neutral toward yellowhammers

Interesting, thanks heir1986. Nice to know that not all of the British 'introductions' do harm to NZ's native flora and fauna!

Beautiful bird. I see them around NZ parliament grounds, quite frequently.
