Dirtbox needed asap
Hi!
I’m on Horokiwi Road West.
I need a dirtbox asap, I’ve got a determined blackbird chick and her parents in my yard. My cat brought her inside 5 days ago, she is still alive weirdly, she’s a strong wee thing. Has anyone got a dirtbox that I can borrow for a night? Have the chick in an open box under my back deck, plan is to give the parents time to get her (who are still actively dive bombing my house and talking to their chick) before I take her to the vet tomorrow morning. But I forgot I need a dirtbox.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
