Sparrows dying is something toxic in the environment?
Hi Neighbours,
A near neighbour has alerted me to a number of dead sparrows she has found in her garden. We have noticed a decline in the numbers visiting our 3 bird feeders, with this evening no sparrows at all. We have not found any dead sparrows, but do have neighbours with cats, and we do have a visiting hedgehog family. Has anyone else, seen dead sparrows or noticed a decline in the birds visiting their gardens? DOC has been alerted.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Does this cat have a home?
Hi neighbours
This little cat is hanging around our house in Keeling street a lot and looking a bit lost and forlorn. Does she belong to anyone?
We don’t want to adopt her in case she actually does have a home.
Please let me know if she belongs to you or you know where she lives.
Thanks
