They are thinking about new locations for dog parks around the city and a $300 fine for walking a dog without a poo bag. Heaps of us got new furry friends over lockdown, with 15,000 dogs now living in Wellington (although cats are still our most popular pets, with 28,000 registered). Even pets like goats, bees and chickens are on the rise. Soon the council will want your opinion on these changes and which fluffy or feathered friends should be allowed in the city. Do you know any unusual pets in your suburb?

"When you are photographing in Karori, there are some unique occupational hazards! New phone and I'm shooting a time-lapse of Tui in flight. I look out the window, and my new phone is being investigated, tugged and being put through the ruggedness test by this young Kaka!
Kaka are so intelligent, and much more gentle than their South Island cousins, the Kea. It's always more investigation than sheer vandalism and mischief! It's such a joy and privilege to have them around."
