Injured Pukeko
A pukeko is on our deck and has an injured foot. It is a regular visitor to our garden but is not looking very happy today at all. We would not be able to capture it to get it to a vet, so I'm looking for suggestions as to how I can help this poor thing. I've offered it bread, and it has eaten some, and a few sultanas, mainly because I didn't know what to give it. It just stands still. I hate to think it is in pain. Any advice?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
