Can you help look after Ringo for a couple of days?

Kulbhushan (JJ) from Maungaraki

Hello, meet Ringo, our 20-month-old Cockatoo. We reside in Maungaraki and have an upcoming funeral in Auckland on Friday. We'll be leaving tomorrow, Thursday, and returning on Saturday night.

Hello, meet Ringo, our 20-month-old Cockatoo. We reside in Maungaraki and have an upcoming funeral in Auckland on Friday. We'll be leaving tomorrow, Thursday, and returning on Saturday night.

We're in need of a pet sitter or someone who can look after Ringo at their place. Alternatively, if possible, we'd appreciate it if someone could spend an hour or two with her twice a day. This way, she can have her meals and some interaction while we're away.

Typically, we take Ringo with us wherever we go, even on flights. However, this time, we've decided to drive up due to the high cost of last-minute flights for four people. Unfortunately, such a long drive is not suitable for our little avian companion.

If you can help or know someone who can, please send me a direct message today, Wednesday, 19th July. Thank you!

In the midst of a birthday celebration, Rangi and Hūkerikeri (Keri) are caught off guard when two unexpected guests crash through the door intent on robbing the couple.

Winter Wellness Series: SLEEP 💤🥱😴

The Chiro from The Chiro - Johnsonville

Sleep is crucial for maintaining optimal physical & mental health. It plays a key role in how the body restores & repairs itself, whilst also improving cognitive function, memory, concentration, productivity and overall performance. 🤯🧐💪🧠

Lack of sleep plays a direct role in increasing the risk of chronic health conditions like obesity, diabetes and heart disease, while also contributing to development of irritability, anxiety and depression.
Sleep deprivation may also contribute to impairing immune function 🦠🧬 - which is especially important during the colder months. Start prioritising sleep QUALITY to enhance your wellness!

Keys to optimise your sleep performance 🔑:
✅ Stick to a sleep schedule: getting into bed and falling asleep at the same time every night help's set the body's biological clock, making it easier to fall asleep.
✅ Bedroom should be dark, quiet, and cool: Limit distractions, and keep the room cool for optimal sleep.
✅ Get off screens 30mins before sleep: Blue light from screen use may interfere with melatonin secretion, which is important for sleep. This can also reduce the amount of deep sleep overall, which is important for recovery and restoration.
✅ Avoid caffeine after 2pm: Caffeine blocks the effects of adenosine, which is a neurotransmitter that makes us feel tired.
✅ Limit alcohol: Alcohol intake can inhibit REM sleep, which keeps you in lighter stages of sleep for longer.
✅ Exercise regularly: Exercise for at least 30 minutes per day, but try to avoid exercising 2-3 hours before bedtime to allow the body to relax.
