Bird of the Year - Vote Kingfisher to clean up our rivers!
It's Forest & Bird's Bird of the Year competition time again, and we're sponsoring the Kingfisher, or kotare. Now just think about what diving into a polluted Avon or Heathcote river does for the health of our kingfishers! Not much! But if we clean up our rivers, and provide better, cleaner habitat, imagine the increase in birds like kingfishers we'll see in our city. So pop on over to www.birdoftheyear.org.nz... and vote for the kingfisher to show how much we care about clean urban rivers!

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