If you feel an earthquake that lasts for more than a minute or makes it hard to stand up, don’t wait for an official tsunami warning. Move immediately to the nearest high ground or as far inland as you can. Walk or bike if you can. Stay there until you get the all clear.

What does it take to feed over 100 species?

Reporter The Hastings Mail

Feeding time at Penguin Cove may look like a frenzied, fishy lolly scramble.
But as National Aquarium keepers pass out specially imported sprats to the Cove's inhabitants, they ensure no bird gulps down too much – or too little.

Below is a link that I found and it has me quite concerned. What's your take on it? And they want to keep this going for another year. Shame people don't have rights anymore, we are in a world where freedom of speech is no longer allowed nor is it heard.

I just wanted to send a big thank you to everyone who has welcomed me, shared (so SO many!) things so generously with me / traded with me, etc since I started using this site a couple of months ago.

Thanks to many of you - I have started to get my garden back on track, sold eggs, purchased additional furniture and have a new aviary "in the wings" (hah) with all the treasure you've donated.

It's been awesome and I have to say - although originally unsure of the value of the site - I am 100% a fan.

Happy Holidays / Safe travels etc to you all and here's to a very neighbourly new year :)

For one of many projects underway here!

I am seeking the following items (was going to just head to Bunnings but thought maybe you guys / my neighbours might have things to sell / get rid of, so I'll start here!)

Mesh / Chicken wire
Wood (of assorted shapes, sizes & types)
Tree stump (singular! Only need one)
Kids (size) broken bicycle (Will not be for riding)
Corrugated iron (ideally long lengths) or something to use as a roof (if you have something better, I am all ears, thanks!)
Wooden lattice 'bits' (I should go into marketing hah)
Polystyrene (ideally large sheets)

And IDEAS - I need ideas too - please!

This particular project is to create a fun aviary / play area for my pet magpie. When I have visitors I have to lock her away because she's (spring has sprung and she's feeling very protective! ie PSYCHO lol) decided everyone has feet wot need attacking.. So while she's incarcerated, I figure she should have some fun ..

So as I say, ideas for fun things she could have in the enclosure would be great too .. thanks everyone!

And yes that's her pictured, asleep on my german shepherd's feet ;)
She isn't always horrid lol
