The only problem with this was that New Zealand is also home to many Flightless Birds, like the Kiwi. These stoats eventual played a role in making some species of kiwi nearly extinct or extinct. The Little Spotted Kiwi was diriven to extinction by the combines efforts of the stoats, pigs, and cats.
