Kererū are making Wellington home
Wellingtonians give yourself a giant pat on the back.
The results are in from this year's Great Kererū Count, and eager bird watchers have spotted 5,619 birds. That represents 26 percent of the national total and a lot more birds than were seen in Auckland.
Bird numbers in Wellington have increased generally since 2011, with the council reporting an increase in native birds making the city home, with tūī, fantail, kākā, kākāriki, North Island saddleback and kererū numbers all increasing significantly.

A campaign calling on the government to limit rates rises to 3% has been launched by the Taxpayers Union.
