Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

Something a bit different this week. Louise Thomas features regularly on Neighbourly but it appears she is not the only bird lover in the family.
"This beautiful drawing was a present from my lovely daughter, Caitlin, for my birthday. It's a portrait of a chap who frequents a large tree at the back of our neighbour's section - it borders our section at the back so he is often peering into our yard - this is the view we normally have of him. I've always valued the handcrafted gifts my children give me - looking at them in chronological order is like viewing the ascent of man. This one's going straight to the trophy room. Kererū/wood pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)."

Need help with your pets, kids, or around the house?

Olivia from Whitby

Hey everyone!

My name is Livie, I'm 19 years old. I'm new to Neighbourly so I hope I'm doing this right!

As you probably know, it's rough out there trying to find a job. After many applications, I've decided to try another route in hopes of meeting people and getting myself out there.
I have a huge passion for animals and helping others, so whether you need dog walking, pet sitting, baby sitting, gardening, or cleaning, I'm your gal!
I am also Grade 7 in piano and am very happy to provide piano lessons for anyone eager to learn. I have taught keyboard at Tawa Music Center, and love sharing the joy of music.

I don't have any set rates and have no problem working out together what would be affordable for you. Most importantly, I just want to get out of my comfort zone at home, help people, and form connections.

My email address is : livie.turley@gmail.com
And phone number: 021 206 6839

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope to hear from some lovely people in the area! :)
