Not so much
It's NZ, not Oz. Typical wildlife there is the pukeko - like a very fat chicken that can't be arsed moving even if you poke it. They're spectacularly docile.

I can't think of a good response,
but I did just remember a poem about the extinct Moa, which were like a giant (12 foot tall!) version of an ostrich, were also ridiculously tame, and so were all eaten by the early European settlers.
"No Moa, no Moa, in old Aotearoa,
Can't get 'em, they've 'et 'em,
They're gone, and there ain't no Moa"
"Aotearoa" is the Mauri name for NZ, "land of the long white cloud".

Looks like it's been shopped
Lovely creature. Docile I guess because no predators until us lot turned up and introduced species that should not have been there. At least the Kiwi has become quite shy and wary.

Exactly
No predators for thousands of years, until we turned up.
Similar to the passenger pigeons in America; allegedly when you clubbed one to death, others would wander over to see what'd happened. And they were tasty.
A lot of the natives that we didn't eat were wiped out by other species we introduced, such as cats. Or destruction of habitat.
Humans really are utter shits.

Possibly the only war delayed by rain
The Great Emu War was spectacularly pathetic.
