Avian botulism at Pharazyn Reserve
⚠️ There’s currently an outbreak of avian botulism within the Pharazyn Reserve area between Waikanae Beach and Peka Peka.
This disease can cause paralysis and death in birds, and while low risk to humans it can make cats and dogs very sick. Please keep yourself and your animals away from any dead birds you may find in or near our waterways and don’t let them eat dead birds or fish.
Here's how you can help us contain outbreaks:
🦆 Avoid feeding ducks – it’s better to encourage them to forage naturally.
🦆 If you do feed the birds, don’t feed them bread – it can rot in ponds and promote the growth of botulism bacteria
🦆 Pick up your pet’s waste and dispose of it properly.
🦆 Report any dead birds in Council parks and public spaces, please phone us on 04 296 4700 or 0800 486 486.
🦆 Let your friends and family know how they can help to reduce avian botulism.
🦆 If you have wetlands on your property and find dead birds or other animals, use gloves and dispose of them immediately.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
