Sick Kakapo Rally Auckland Zoo
Two male kakapo have been nursed back to health at Auckland Zoo.
They were part of a group of three brought to the zoo's vet hospital in February by conservation partners at Kakapo Recovery.
The trio was suffering from cloacitis, an inflammation of the cloaca which can cause painful scabbing.
Bravo and Tautahi have flown back home- as passengers on an Air New Zealand plane.
They are settling back in at Whenua Hou Island, west of Stewart Island.
The third kakapo, Huhu, is still being treated at the hospital.
Zoo staff said she is an "absolute sweetheart" and is responding well to treatment.
The vet team has been researching the causes of cloacitis.

Dry cleaners mt Roskill
Hello our fellow neighbors I was hoping someone would know where the old dry cleaners we had up at the lights on dominion road have moved to?? I was out of town and when I came back they were gone .... I had some items that I would really love to get back but if only I new where they moved to or how to get In Touch with the owners to see what they did with our clothes if they closed down or moved elsewhere? Any updates or news about it would be amazing neighbors. Have a great day

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.6% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
