Viewings of the new ‘Giant Kiwi’

Jane Carruthers from Ngā Manu Nature Reserve

Giant kiwi spotted at Nga Manu Nature Reserve!!
Early reports say the kiwi is believed to be a large as a human.
Sightings have been sporadic and most have been in front of the visitor centre around 11am and 2.30pm daily. Unlike normal kiwis the sightings have been in full day light.
The kiwi appears friendly and huggable, and also doesn't seem to mind a selfie or photo.
See it at Nga Manu Nature Reserve this weekend.
• Saturday 15 July, 11am and 2.30pm (20 minute meet and greet)
• Sunday 16 July, 11am and 2.30pm (20 minute meet and greet)
Koha entry. Admission to the reserve not included. Bookings not required.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
