Behind the fun is a serious mission. Many of New Zealand’s native species are in serious trouble. Bird of the Year raises awareness of their habitats, the threats they face, and how we can protect our feathered taonga. Important work that we love seeing!

I've got 8 half-round tractor tyres that I've used for feeding out, especially good for making sure that dry feed stays that way and doesn't get soggy / is never eaten 'cos it's lost in the grass.
Plenty of other uses such as for planting etc. Let the imagination run riot!
There is also some PVC irrigation piping available.
All are free to pick up - Eyrewell. Please call 027 271 5077 to arrange.
Cheers
