SPCA Pet of the Day: Luke the Rabbit

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Just before Christmas, five rabbits were found in a box in a Levin, left to fend for themselves with no home and no family. Four rabbits quickly became 11 after one gave birth to seven baby rabbits!

Just before Christmas, five rabbits were found in a box in a Levin, left to fend for themselves with no home and no family. Four rabbits quickly became 11 after one gave birth to seven baby rabbits!

"I was born in SPCA's care after my mum was left in a box on the steps of SPCA Levin. Now I am here at SPCA Wellington looking for a forever home and a second chance at happiness.
All I've known is life in SPCA's care and now my caregivers want to find me a home to call my own and where I can binky, run and play to my heart's content. I may not look like your average domestic rabbit (you can blame my dad's genes for that!), but I have a sweet personality that I'd love to share with my loving family! I would love a home with a female rabbit to be friends with. I will need a secure outdoor pen for daytime, and an indoor space for nighttime so I can be a part of the family."

Should Wellington unearth its streams. Wellington has 700km 700km of culverted streams within the Wellington city limits, compared to as little as 60km of open streams.
Around the world cities are dayligting streams – the process of digging urban streams out of darkness to restore them to their more natural conditions.
Daylighted streams do a better job of retaining and distributing nutrients for plants and wildlife, can act as a natural water filter, and are less vulnerable to flooding
They can also add a lot of vibrancy to public space, Blaschke said.
Tell us what you think of bringing streams like Waitangi Stream (pictured) back to life?

This week we introduce a new photographer, Roger Smith, to Friday Feathered Friend. He recently spotted a sooty tern in the Waikanae Estuary, where he is a regular photographer.
“I had taken a walk along the sandspit to have a look at the white-fronted tern flock there - not expecting to see any interesting birds - and I was stunned to see this lovely brown bird amongst them again...With the sun right behind me, I crawled very slowly holding my camera in front of my face until, after about 20 metres of inching over hot sand, I got within a few metres of it. It wasn't aware of my presence, so I just lay there and took over 100 shots before backing away.”
