Key findings from the report:
- We are now two and a half times more likely to see kākā throughout the city. These beautiful birds are spreading far and wide, finding new places to live. Some are even visiting our neighbours in Porirua and the Hutt Valley.
- Kākāriki have seen the largest increase – 500% up from 10 years ago – and they are now well established in some of reserves.
- Tūī have increased by 121%. While these birds were already common, they’re loving feeding on the Harakeke and Kowhai planted through our restoration programme.

As I no longer have a landline, I have no further use for for this phone system, which is perfect for persons who are hard of hearing or visually impaired. It has an xtra loud volume, which can be boosted further, a red flashing light when there is a call or voicemail and large buttons.
The digital answering system has a button you can push to play the messages back more slowly.
It comes with an extra cordless handset.
Some time ago I bought a second accessory cordless handset which has a contact that needs seeing to ( I already bought a new battery) so I can offer that to go with the system. Phone system comes with owner’s manuals.

The WBRT has been operating a bird rehabilitation hospital located in 24 hectares of farmland in Ohariu, near Johnsonville, for many years,
It treats over 1,000 birds a year, taking in all types of native and non-native birds who have been injured or orphaned. This includes over 80 injured Kererū brought in annually by the community.
These big birds are much-loved and seen in increasing numbers in suburban areas, but unfortunately are often injured by cars, window strike, power lines, and by predators such as rats and stoats.
