Recent report of mostly captive birds from Staglands being reported from Zealandia.
40 grey ducks is wrong in any case.
2 rooks most likely refers to the rooks that are kept in an aviary at Staglands.

Re: Obviously incorrect reports on eBird
This record mistakes Paradise Shelducks for Chestnut-breasted Shelducks. Probably the most obviously incorrect as it is even mentioned explicitly in the comments for the bird.

Maybe not "obviously incorrect"? Time will tell I guess.

Re: Obviously incorrect reports on eBird
This one has mallards/mallard x grey duck hybrids put as Grey Ducks
https://ebird.org/atlasnz/checklist/S86769046
Interesting enough, they've also put down/ticked mallard and hybrids.
So that's a bit weird, makes me wonder if those are correct as well or if they're all hybrids

Re: Obviously incorrect reports on eBird
Found and incorrect age ID on this one
https://ebird.org/atlasnz/checklist/S88696025
Barbary Doves, images show an adult bird and a juvenile but they've labeled them all as adult birds.

More likely an adult with fluffed up feathers I thought, pink feet too - maybe better labelled as age and sex uncertain ?

There are a couple of kiwi records from Whanganui National Park that have been entered under Tokoeka:

Hi Phil,
Thanks for picking up on those they’re from the tier 1 data set that must have got missed when they were uploaded; being the wrong species for the area. Will flag it and pass it onto Dan and Pat from the Atlas Team.
