Bird rescuers need your help

Reporter Community News

Lower Hutt Kererū Rescue is appealing for donations to cover fuel, food and medication so it can keep operating in April.
Rescue coordinator Hayden James says the increasing cost of fuel is having a major impact. The charity had covered 1023 kms so far this month, rescuing 33 birds from as afield as Masterton and Levin.
Birds rescued included nine seagulls, five Kererū, one kākā, four tūī and two pied shags. The kākā had flown into a house and was unable to get out. It was caught and released unharmed.
For more information go to the Lower Hutt Kererū Rescue Facebook page.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
