Bug man's visit to Whangarei
During his three day stay in Whangarei, Bug Man, Ruud Kleinpaste stopped in at Kiwi North where he was put to work carefully following the nationally standard recipe to make the kiwi food for the day.
Kevin Saxton, Kiwi North husbandry team leader and Northtec Environmental Science student Courtney du Preez who is completing her 90 hours practicum here at Kiwi North thoroughly enjoyed the visit.
The diet is lean beef mince, oxheart, cat biscuits, vitamin mix, corn, peas, carrot, apple, banana, currants and oil. It is the same in all the captive facilities to reduce variables and reduce stress if the birds are moved from one location to another.
Later in the day Kleinpaste took a walk in the Pukenui forest with its rangers.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
