Do you love butterflies?

Jacqui from Blockhouse Bay

I love this photo from Elizabeth Amber's garden of a yellow admiral. You could have these beauties (and more) visiting your garden.

I love this photo from Elizabeth Amber's garden of a yellow admiral. You could have these beauties (and more) visiting your garden.

Here's some tips as well that I pulled from the last e-news from the MBNZT (Moths and Butterflies of NZ Trust).
The e-news is free and comes out every Friday, with tips and tricks to bring more beautiful butterflies to your garden in the season. www.mb.org.nz... .

We're lucky in Blockhouse Bay because our swan plants are not "annuals" - we can have plants that last for years and of course if you let them they will self-seed, providing you and your neighbours with more plants... more caterpillars, more butterflies. (If you can control the social wasps, that is.)

Feel free to share this message with others in your neighbourhood(s) - it would be great to have more people looking after our butterflies.

The MBNZT has a great “special offer” available now for new financial members: George Gibbs’ excellent book on “The Monarch Butterfly in New Zealand” as well as a colourful ID poster of New Zealand’s butterflies, both absolutely free. And they put the subscription to really good use… they’ve listed 19 ways (and I suspect there are more) on their website.

www.nzbutterflies.org.nz...

Both of these gifts are free right now when you show your support for the MBNZT, $35 per annum to receive the magazines digitally, or only $45 to receive them in the mail.

Infamous Titirangi chickens 'bok' on the streets after $25k removal

Kia ora neighbours, feral chickens that terrorised children and were blamed for an infestation of “cat-sized” rats are back on the streets, despite politicians spending thousands to remove them.

Titirangi has battled poultry problems for years and in 2019, the Waitākere Local Board paid $25,000 to get rid of more than 200 birds.

The removal of the chickens was requested by the majority of locals and 240 of the birds were captured and re-homed, but local board deputy chairperson Greg Presland said not every single bird was captured.

Years on, a flock of about 30 birds are roosting by Titirangi library, driving residents “mad” with constant crowing.
