"When you are photographing in Karori, there are some unique occupational hazards! New phone and I'm shooting a time-lapse of Tui in flight. I look out the window, and my new phone is being investigated, tugged and being put through the ruggedness test by this young Kaka!
Kaka are so intelligent, and much more gentle than their South Island cousins, the Kea. It's always more investigation than sheer vandalism and mischief! It's such a joy and privilege to have them around."

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
