Viewings of the new ‘Giant Kiwi’

Jane Carruthers from Ngā Manu Nature Reserve

Giant kiwi spotted at Nga Manu Nature Reserve!!
Early reports say the kiwi is believed to be a large as a human.
Sightings have been sporadic and most have been in front of the visitor centre around 11am and 2.30pm daily. Unlike normal kiwis the sightings have been in full day light.
The kiwi appears friendly and huggable, and also doesn't seem to mind a selfie or photo.
See it at Nga Manu Nature Reserve this weekend.
• Saturday 15 July, 11am and 2.30pm (20 minute meet and greet)
• Sunday 16 July, 11am and 2.30pm (20 minute meet and greet)
Koha entry. Admission to the reserve not included. Bookings not required.

Hi,
Does anybody have packaging boxes ( not banana boxes) ? I thought I would ask before I go and purchase them.
Thanks.

Paper Shredding

James from Waikanae

I will be doing a lot of paper shredding over the next few weeks. Is there anybody who would like the shredded paper. I don't know if you can use it for hamsters and other pets, maybe it could go in your compost.

Just let me know if you want some.
