"North Island saddleback/Tīeke (Philesturnus rufusater) at Bushy Park on 12 July. Not the best shot of a saddleback I've taken, but they can be tricky busy birds, continuously moving in the dark undergrowth, tossing over leaves and dark mysterious lumps looking for tasty ground grubs. They usually only take off into a tree like this when being chased by one of their contemporaries in a noisy altercation about turf. Bird #87 in 2022."

Pinky, female mixed breed, four months old.
"I am small but mighty, full of excitement and curiosity for life. I am sure to make a great addition to a lucky household. My siblings and I have been fostered until we were big enough and old enough to find homes. We have been able to have a start in a home environment before coming back to SPCA for rehoming. As I am still young, I will need a home where I am not left alone for more than a few hours this is until I am older and settled into my new home. I am super social and love having a good play so I could go to a home with an existing gentle dog, or a confident cat. I still have a lot to learn so would love a home that has the time and patience to enroll me in puppy school, this is to help me become the best companion I know I can be."

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Nelly

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Hey there, I'm Nelly. I am a very beautiful girl, and I know it. I can be a bit shy in new situations and when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for me to warm up to my humans.

I can be a bit shy in new situations and when meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for me to warm up to my humans. I love getting love and affection from my humans, it makes me feel really happy. I would like to go to a quiet home where there may be a comfy couch for me to sleep on, and maybe even a lap that I can curl up on and keep you warm on a cold night. Due to my shyness, I won't be much fun in a home with young children as I like to live a peaceful life, older children may be okay, as long as they know when to give me some time and space to myself if I need it. I don't enjoy being in a room with other cats....I do have a medical waiver my new family will need to be made aware of."
