Contributions sought for lovely Goose
Silverstream has a famous community goose who has set up home alongside the Reformed Church complex. He/she can wander off whenever he likes but Mr Goose/Goosie Loosie has decided to stay put and made absolutely sure over the last three months that a group of ducklings survived the presence of rats to reach sufficient maturity.
Goosie Loosie is friendly, talkative and quite loveable. She/he has 'reached" out to people passing by day and night.
The goose is being fed by neighbourhood people. PLEASE DONT GIVE HIM/HER BREAD. Duck food, shredded lettuce leaves, the shredded leaves of cauliflower and other similar food is appreciated. Note - not the stalks. Interestingly though, some geese kill rats and mice - they apparently swallow them whole.
Now here is the thing - I think a vet should take a look at Goosie Loosie because he/she is in a somewhat straggly condition which may be more than just clipped wings and I want to see if any people on Neighbourly are willing to fork out a gold coin or a $5 note inorder to gather in sufficient funds for a vet at the Silverstream clinic to take a proper and professional look.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
