A bird strike in Red Beach caused a big headache for Vector and Red Beach residents this afternoon.
On Monday, several properties in the northern Auckland suburb lost power after more than 30 pigeons decided to set up camp on local power lines.
"As you can see from the photo, this wasn't one or two birds, but a whole flock that decided to make themselves comfortable on our lines," electricity distribution company Vector said.
While the pigeons may have been comfortable, their arrival caused quite a problem for Vector customers.
