4 chooks looking for a new home.

Jacqui from Owhiro Bay

We have 4 girls who need a new home. They are healthy and friendly and about 2.5 years old. They are still laying, we get over a dozen a week although may slow down a bit over the darker months ahead.

The only reason they need a new home is because they've got a bit naughty and lay in the bush. Fine if there's only one bush, but we have several acres of it for them to roam in and we have to lock them up if we want the eggs, which isn't fair on them.

So if you want some lovely girls to share your garden with, with the added benefit of delicious free range eggs, let me know.
Asking $30 for all 4, but home is more important.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, weโ€™re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature โ€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

๐Ÿ’จ Wellington: Is the real summer finally here?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Itโ€™s the talk of the town (and every coffee queue): the Wellington "summer" has felt more like a very long, very damp spring! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Weโ€™ve definitely had our fair share of grey skies and raincoats lately.

In fact, The Post reports that our "pretty average" summer has been tough on the local venues and events that usually thrive under the sun. But don't pack away the sunscreen just yet!

The good news? The next couple of weeks are looking a bit more "settled" (the Wellington word for "not a gale-force downpour"). With autumn officially here, now is the time to squeeze every last drop out of the season! โ˜€๏ธ

Any local hidden spots or activities youโ€™d recommend for a calm Wellington day? Drop them in the comments! ๐Ÿ‘‡
