111th Auckland Metropolitan Bird Club Show

The Team Reporter from Nor-west News

The Auckland Metropolitan Bird Club has its 111th Bird Show on June 11 at the Kumeu Showgrounds from 1pm-4pm.

As many as 500 birds of all types from throughout the country will be entered for the best bird from more than the 17 species.

A range of birds will be displayed, from the biggest parrots to canaries, budgies and the tiniest finches.

Judging starts early Saturday morning and the public can then enter from 1pm.

If you need a lift after all the COVID blues, check out these beautiful feathered friends which are sure to put a smile on your whole family’s face, the club says.

A sales table will allow visitors to buy a bird or two, or other bird products.

No EFTPOS is available, so visitors should bring cash. A small entry fee ($5 adult, $15 family) will help the club put on another show next year.

The Auckland club has been around for more than 100 years and has a friendly group of members that can assist you with all your questions about keeping birds.

Not all members show birds, often they are there to learn more or to give advice to fellow bird keepers. Meetings are very informal and usually accompanied by aviary visits where you can see how other fanciers keep their birds in perfect condition.

Come along to the Auckland Bird Show at the Kumeu Showgrounds on June 11 and bring a few friends as it’s probably the first time the show has been held out this way.

Contact club President Adrian on 021 916 407 for further information.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Nicky Horsbrough - Harcourts Helensville

Expert Guidance. Real Results
Whether you're buying or selling, the right agent makes all the difference. Here’s what some of my clients have shared about their journey with me:
💬 "Positive and professional every step of the way, Nicky was a pleasure to deal with.
Nicky recently sold our property in Kaukapakapa. There were comments from various people that the property had been on the market for quite some time, however, what those folks didn't realise was that Nicky had a contract in place within a few weeks of our property being on the market, but unfortunately the buyers were unable to sell their property to proceed. Nicky persevered and continued showing our home and managed to get another couple of potential buyers waiting in the wings. Over the next few weeks Nicky worked closely with the (eventual) buyer, with a lot of back and forth communication and she got us to a place where we were all satisfied with the outcome. We have been extremely happy with Nicky's professionalism, knowledge of the local real estate market and her positivity - she was always available to answer any questions we had and to offer advice. We couldn't recommend Nicky highly enough!"

If you’re thinking of selling or buying, let’s chat! I’d love to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
