Kia ora, Anyone know of any NZ research into whether owls or other creatures are being affected by eating rats or mice who have died from ingesting bait, please?

I couldnât find the exact paper I remember reading recently (yet), but here are some other results I got from a keyword search using variations on âsecondary poisoningâ âbirdâ ânzâ, which should provide a starting point.
- Anticoagulant residues in rats and secondary non-target risk (doc.govt.nz)
- The toxicity and sub-lethal effects of Brodifacoum in birds and bats (doc.govt.nz)
- Review of the toxicity and impacts of brodifacoum on nonâtarget wildlife in New Zealand - Eason - 1995 - New Zealand Journal of Zoology - Wiley Online Library
- Trends in vertebrate pesticide use and development: alternatives to 1080 - what and when? (envirolink.govt.nz)

- Diet of moreporks (Ninox novaeseelandiae) in Pureora Forest determined from prey remains in regurgitated pellets (nzes.org.nz)
- The ecology and breeding biology of morepork, Ninox novaeseelandiae, and their risk from secondary poisoning, in New Zealand (massey.ac.nz)
- Higher call rates of morepork, Ninox novaeseelandiae, at sites inside an area with ongoing brodifacoum poisoning compared with matched nonâmanaged sites - Fraser - 2008 - New Zealand Journal of Zoology - Wiley Online Library

Adding a bait name or bird species to the search tends to bring up more relevant results as well. Would love to read other recommended research, especially any other review papers
