first action of DIY Bird First Aid
as action of DIY Bird First Aid "C-san" of Murrays Bay has been tending to a blind baby bird found on her driveway.
she has been giving it water from a pipette fashioned out of a straw, and has noticed an adult bird nearby feeding it.
she heard a terrible racket last night and went outside to find the adult bird standing in front of the cardboard box with the baby bird, screaming at a cat looking for a midnight snack.
this prompted her to want a more robust and cat-proof structure to house the bird during the night (as it is "not wanted" inside)...
she went to the local big-box hardware store to get a letterbox to do the job but contacted me when she found the cheapest "crap" letterbox to be $ND70.
she dug through our resource centre and found a small cage (for free, from MPHS Tipping Point) wood roof (from a discarded art crate), and some coffee sacks (from JDEcoffee factory in East Tamaki). she added a bell from her "craft supplies" at home, as she noticed that the bird is unsettled unless there is a chime now and again.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
0% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
0% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Mike and I have about 90 years experience between us. There is nothing we can't do around your home. Do you have sticking windows and doors, Aluminium and Timber, catches and handles broken or stuck? Garage Doors included.
Letterboxes a bit wobbly or broken, numbers missing, we still need to find you even if the Postie has gone AWOL.
Kitchen and Bathroom need some maintenance, doors water damaged, hinges not working properly, handles missing or broken. Bench tops tired or want to change the look? Gib installation, plastering and painting. Or a complete remodel.
Weather board replacement or tidying up, painting outside too.
Concrete paths and drive a bit cracked and broken, we can sort these problems also. oil stains an eyesore.
Decks, replace or repair, new stairs and balustrades including railings.
This is only a small list if our expertise, if it needs fixing or changing we have the ability.
