These birds can help you de-stress
Hi Neighbours, I often see people pause when they are walking around Orakei Basin and they see the pied shags on the fallen trees. Recently they have been building nests and I’ve enjoyed watching the pairs working away at securing the sticks – there are several nests there spread over the two trees. Apparently August to October are key months for laying eggs. Spending time in nature has been shown to help lower stress levels, it can be part of your "toolkit." We are lucky to live in a part of Auckland with lots of chances to spend time in nature – enjoy!
