"Those with delicate sensibilities look away and stop reading now. For the rest of you, this is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Two black swans/kakīānau (Cygnus atratus) were doing their whole love dance that they do, with the twining necks and head bobbing (I have much nicer photos than this one - but this is the funny one), they finished with some post-coital celebratory honking. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a male greylag goose zoomed in and starting joining in with his own loud honking, while swimming around the loving couple - it quite put the poor old male swan off his stride. He wound up nipping the goose on the bottom to get him to go away - it quite ruined the mood."

However this makes it possible for us to explore growth new op shop locations in the Wellington area, as we look to open more stores in the near future for the Wellington community.
Everything in our Petone Op Shop is currently on sale, with prices slashed from now until our closing date. Everything MUST GO before 31 July 2022. We will continue to gratefully accept items donated for the animals in our care, including blankets, towels and pet toys for our SPCA Wellington Centre – but please be aware that we will not be accepting donated items for resale.
Please consider shopping, donating or volunteering to our other local SPCA Op Shops in the area at:
🐾 Lower Hutt Op Shop, 6 Pretoria Street, Hutt Central, Lower Hutt 5010
🐾 Johnsonville Op Shop, 70 Johnsonville Road, Johnsonville, Wellington 6037
We’d like to thank you for many years of support at our Petone Op Shop, and helping to raise money for animals in need. Thank you for your sup-PAW-t Wellington 💙
