Behind the fun is a serious mission. Many of New Zealand’s native species are in serious trouble. Bird of the Year raises awareness of their habitats, the threats they face, and how we can protect our feathered taonga. Important work that we love seeing!

Now that the weekend’s over and things have calmed down a bit, the Neighbourly Team are keen to hear from you: how are you feeling about it all?
Summer’s coming, and holidays are on the horizon … should we be focusing on the future rather than the past quarter? Or is this dip in the road a real concern?

Hi there, I'm after lengths of 25mm alkathene pipe - not being used as pipe so doesn't matter if it has holes or is damaged. Ideally around 5metres or longer but could also make do with shorter pieces if need be. If you have some lying around, I'd be glad to take it off your hands … View moreHi there, I'm after lengths of 25mm alkathene pipe - not being used as pipe so doesn't matter if it has holes or is damaged.
