Please give fresh water to birds/wildlife in your garden each day

Susan Neighbourly Lead from St Heliers

Summer can be a tough time for birds & other wildlife, with water being very hard to find. If you can spare water for them, they'll really appreciate it. It's easy to create an 'oasis': bit.ly... Please spread the word to friends & family - thanks.

NB People in many parts of NZ are being asked to conserve water, so here's an idea for collecting water that would otherwise be wasted, and giving it to birds/wildlife instead. If you're going to wash dishes or have a shower, put a bucket in the kitchen sink and shower to capture the cold water when you first turn the tap on, before it warms up. Then you can use this cold water for the containers for animals.

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is being pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
