In my younger days, I was a school prefect. I enjoy playing the guitar/violin & photography. My start date for employment is 16 Feb 2026 in central Wellington & preferable to start renting then or 1-2 weeks earlier. Public transport is important to central Wellington for my job. The place would be ideally furnished & walking distance to the supermarket as I will have no car. Character references can be provided. I am fine with flatting, boarding, living alone (preference) eg bed-sit. A bit early, but I thought of investigating now
The kākāpō, our famously lovable but critically endangered land-parrot, are forecast to have a massive breeding season in 2026 - perhaps the biggest on record!

How do we know? Kākāpō only 'get busy' during rimu mast events (where rimu grow heaps of fruit), every 2-4 years. Because we can anticipate rimu mast events, and kākāpō love rimu fruit, we can predict kākāpō breeding activity.
Since there are only 242 kākāpō today, this bumper season is important.
This positive outlook on population numbers is especially exciting since, due to the mahi of conservationists, the kākāpō have completed their first season on the North island (at Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari). The booming of the kākāpō has not been heard on the North Island of Aotearoa for over a century!

The couple heard about the St John therapy pets programme not long after moving into Ryman Healthcare’s Devonport village in 2021, and now take Maggie to visit residents in the village care centre three times a week.
