Only one month to go until Neighbours Day Aotearoa 2021 kicks off!
This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.
Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:
• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients
The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.
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.
Do you think it's inconsiderate for people to have lengthy phone calls on a bus? Vote in the poll, and add your comments below.

Movie fundraiser for saving wild birds!
BirdCare Aotearoa and our friends at Hollywood Avondale cinema are screening Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (1963)!
Sunday 10th Nov, 6.30pm
This classic horror-thriller film was selected for our fundraiser, as Hitchcock explained that the events at Bodega Bay unfolded because humans took nature for granted, and this continues to be a timely reminder for us all to care for nature. The Birds will feature after a short trailer about BirdCare Aotearoa, and the evening is also a chance for you to meet our team.
All funds raised will support our renowned wild bird hospital and rehabilitation centre, where heroes like you bring in up to 100 sick, injured or orphaned birds a day! We are a charity, operating on donations and grants, so thank you for supporting us!
The Hollywood Avondale is renowned as a "Free spirit in the cinematic world," and this historic cinema palace is the perfect setting for this fundraiser screening.
Bird lovers, classic film enthusiasts, horror fans, and historians, please share this invitation with friends, family and colleagues, and book your seats today!
