Wellington getting behind the hihi
It is time to get in behind yellow and black for the Bird of the Year.
From November 2-15, Bird of the Year Te Manu Rongonui o Te Tau 2020 is back showcasing our native birds and encouraging Kiwis to vote for their favourite feathered friend.
This year the Wellington City Council is backing the hihi (also known as the stitchbird).
The total population of the hihi is unlikely to exceed 2000 birds.
Wellington's Zealandia is thought now to have the largest mainland population.
Wellington sports teams The Pulse and The Phoenix are also supporting the hihi – the bird that sports their team colours.
What is your favourite bird?
Poll: Do you believe in ghosts?
Just for a little bit of fun, we'd love to know whether Kiwis believe in ghosts. What goes on in our communities that we don't know about!
Perhaps you've seen a ghost or lived in a haunted home in New Zealand. We'd love to know, so vote in our poll and share your experiences in the comments below.

What's our best winter activities?
Yes, we love our backyards and think our town is pretty cool but what is there to do?
Imagine you were writing a list for visitors/tourists and want to show them the best that your town can offer in winter. What would you suggest?
Limit rates rises to 3%
A campaign calling on the government to limit rates rises to 3% has been launched by the Taxpayers Union.
The Taxpayers Union is asking people to join them in sending a letter to the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Minister for Local Government Simeon Brown.
