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.

Following the death of an antelope on Guy Fawkes Day last year, a city councillor is pushing for a 2 kilometre firework exclusion zone near Wellington Zoo.
The nyala’s death was attributed to “high levels of stress” from fireworks, causing it to run into a fence.
A scrub fire in the surrounding Newtown suburb was also blamed on fireworks being let off from homes.
Wellington City councillor Fleur Fitzsimons said the proposed ban was a matter of safety and wellbeing.

A massive, huge, ginormous THANK YOU from the bottom of my Heart for Art for helping us keep our business going during the challenging covid days. I’m so thankful for all your support.

It’s been a huge challenge to start a business and an even bigger one to keep it going through lockdowns and restrictions.

It’s thanks to you, our local community, and your continued support for our homegrown business, that we’re still here … and … that we reached the super exciting milestone of our 50th Studio Paint Party on Saturday!! 🥳🎨 We celebrated the occasion with loads of laughter, a new painting and a big, delish chocolate gateau!

My mission for the business has always been to share the joy and healing of art. I never expected to receive so much joy and healing in return, from you all, during that process.

It has been such a pleasure to serve you and help you find your creativity. Between you, you’ve painted 61 Tui, 87 Island Bays, 42 Pencarrow Lighthouses, 44 Wellington by Nights, 38 Oriental Bays and tonnes of others too.

It's so awesome knowing there’s a whole gallery of your paintings on your walls and I feel so blessed you’ve allowed me to be a part of that. You guys are just awesome!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. I really couldn’t have done it without you. I can't wait to help you create many more masterpieces and share a tonne more art joy.

Here's to the next 50 Paint Parties! 🍾🥂
Bless you all 💖
