Got space for a couple of pet roosters? 🐓🐓
Sadly when people don’t have any need for roosters they do sometimes just dump them. We’ve had a call about a couple of roosters or chickens who have made their home at the roundabout at Riverstone Terraces.
They’ve been there for a while and have a pretty good set up as some in the community are looking after them. However we can’t really leave them there and do need to do something with them due to health and safety concerns. They look in pretty good shape but we do know the community is split about them being there.
Obviously we want to rehome them first, rather than have to humanly kill them, so if anyone could adopt them please do private message us urgently. Rather than just dumping these animals we hope that in the future people do try to rehome them themselves over social media or through animal groups in the first instance.

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.
