Choice News Tuesday: Spring is in full swing, and the birds are getting busy šŸ£

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Springā€™s here, and with it comes warmer weather and lots of activity from our birds. Itā€™s a great time to get outsideā€”many birds are easier to spot as they build nests, raise their chicks, or return from their Arctic adventures šŸ‘€

Keen to do some backyard birdwatching? The Department of Conservation have put together a nifty guide on how to plan and plant a garden that attracts native birds.

We hope this brings a smile!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ā˜•

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellingtonā€™s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. Weā€™ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and itā€™s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets āš–ļø

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
