My children would love an Indoraptor and an Indominus Rex and they're very hard to find (and expensive!!) brand new. I wanted to post our interest here just in case we have a neighbour who has any of those toys and willing to sell them second hand. I know it's a long shot but you never know! We're also trying to be a bit more environmentally friendly this silly season. The pictures show the toys we're looking for. Thanks very much for reading my post and have a nice weekend!

We'd be keen to hear about your favourite summer holiday spots in NZ. Is there somewhere you keep returning to year after year and, if so, what are the main attractions? What makes it such a stand-out spot? Any tips you may be able to offer on the best things to see and do there - as well as the best places to grab a drink or bite to eat - would be much appreciated.

Tips for anyone trying to help or rescue young birds

Susan Neighbourly Lead from St Heliers

A lot of young birds are leaving their nests now - here are some tips for what to do if you find a young bird. Please keep in mind that sometimes a bird will be fine and doesn't actually need help! But sometimes you may find a bird that needs urgent help.

A lot of young birds are leaving their nests now - here are some tips for what to do if you find a young bird. Please keep in mind that sometimes a bird will be fine and doesn't actually need help! But sometimes you may find a bird that needs urgent help.

1. CHECK IF THE BIRD NEEDS HELP: If it's got feathers, don't try to rescue it - it's a fledgling and its parents will probably be nearby. Watch from a distance to make sure a parent is close and there are no predators in the area. If there are predators, put the bird high up in a tree or tall shrub and shoo the predator away if you can.

2. A YOUNG BIRD NEEDS HELP IF:
-- It has no feathers - put it back in its nest if possible. If you can't put it back in its nest, it needs help ASAP as it will die from exposure otherwise.
-- It has feathers but there's no sign of parents nearby after you've watched it for some time. It will be too young to find its own food yet so it needs help.

IF YOU RESCUE A BIRD
The #1 advice for rescued birds is to keep them warm. Birds feel the cold a lot more than people do - a mild day for humans can be freezing for birds.

--- Put the bird in a shoe box or similar, with an old t-shirt/soft cloth that's loosely bunched up so it can burrow inside and 'nest' (avoid towels or anything its claws may get tangled with).

--- Fill a hot water bottle or a soft drink bottle with hot water from the hot water tap - NOT boiling, but as hot as possible from the tap. Put it outside the box and rest it against one edge of the box. This acts like a little heater and the bird inside the box can get as close as it wants to the warmth.

Get it to a rescue centre as soon as possible - this site has good information and lists bird rescue centres: www.birdrescue.org.nz...

These are the gums, the bone and connective tissue holding our teeth in place. In its early stage, called gingivitis, the gums become swollen, red, and may bleed. In its more serious form, called periodontitis, the gums can pull away from the tooth, bone can be lost, and the teeth may loosen or fall out. Bad breath may also occur.

People have until December 3 to have their say on traffic improvements proposed for Mission Bay's town centre.

Auckland Transport is asking for community feedback to improve safety through the district.

The improvements will be funded through the Regional Fuel Tax.

AT will also be extending a 30 km/h speed limit to Mission Bay in June 2021 as part of its safe speeds programme.

Included in the proposed improvements are:

*Nine new raised zebra crossings within the town centre.

*A new roundabout at the Tamaki Drive and Marau Crescent intersection.

*Improved shared path facilities and planted areas connecting the Tamaki Drive/ Selwyn Avenue intersection and Tamaki Drive/ Marau Crescent intersection.

*Removal of the flush median and widened shared path facilities on Tamaki Drive between Atkin Avenue and Selwyn Avenue.

*Intersection improvements on Patterson Avenue and Marau Crescent.

*Removing 34 public car park spaces on and surrounding Tamaki Drive to make room for the new pedestrian crossings.

What do you think of the proposed changes? Are you in favour with them?

Please type NFP if you don't want your comment featured in our conversations section of the community paper.
