Yep, it is not Friday but by coincidence both Andrew Gorrie and Rosa Marie visited Zealandia and photographed a stroppy tūī who did not want to share the sugar feeder.
Check out the photo of a kaka by Gorrie and the tūī by Marie. Which picture do your prefer?

Our SPCA Pet of the Day this week is Pippa the dog.

"My ideal home would be one with a nice backyard, that is big enough for me to explore and potter around in the sun as I love toasting myself on a sunny day. I very much enjoy my daily walks so would love a family that would be keen to go out, explore with me and show me all the wonderful things out there.
As I want to keep all the cuddles and tummy rubs for myself I am looking for a home as an only dog. Don't be fooled by my size, I can be cheeky and have jumped fences before, so am needing a home that has high fencing. I could live with older kids that are confident around big boisterous ladies like myself.
I do however come with a medical waiver my new home would have to be aware of. So if you think I'm the girl for you please contact the canine team for more information."

Anyone with an internet connection can gain a glimpse into the secret lives of kororā thanks to new cameras set up by Urban Wildlife Trust and Niwa.
Kororā, or little blue penguins, are found around New Zealand’s coasts and grow to only 35 centimetres tall – the smallest species of penguin in the world.
They visit land between June and March each year to lay eggs, care for their young and moult before returning to sea to feed during April and May.
Two high resolution cameras and an external microphone have been installed in a little blue penguin nest box in Evans Bay, with Kororā Cam now streaming straight to YouTube.

Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

This weeks contribution comes from Louise Thomas.

"Is that a little blue sky this afternoon? I feel like a mole rat emerging after a week in the burrow. This grey warbler/riroriro (Gerygone igata) seems pretty happy to see the sun. He's posing in a cedar tree for Christmas cards."
