The Auckland Metropolitan Bird Club has its 111th Bird Show on June 11 at the Kumeu Showgrounds from 1pm-4pm.

As many as 500 birds of all types from throughout the country will be entered for the best bird from more than the 17 species.

A range of birds will be displayed, from the biggest parrots to canaries, budgies and the tiniest finches.

Judging starts early Saturday morning and the public can then enter from 1pm.

If you need a lift after all the COVID blues, check out these beautiful feathered friends which are sure to put a smile on your whole family’s face, the club says.

A sales table will allow visitors to buy a bird or two, or other bird products.

No EFTPOS is available, so visitors should bring cash. A small entry fee ($5 adult, $15 family) will help the club put on another show next year.

The Auckland club has been around for more than 100 years and has a friendly group of members that can assist you with all your questions about keeping birds.

Not all members show birds, often they are there to learn more or to give advice to fellow bird keepers. Meetings are very informal and usually accompanied by aviary visits where you can see how other fanciers keep their birds in perfect condition.

Come along to the Auckland Bird Show at the Kumeu Showgrounds on June 11 and bring a few friends as it’s probably the first time the show has been held out this way.

Contact club President Adrian on 021 916 407 for further information.

See the story after my reaction. It's directly from the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency website (link attached)

This is EXCELLENT news and it's for my safety, your safety - everyone's safety👍🏻😉
Fingers crossed the consistent repeat offenders will finally be dealt to once the trial period has finished.
We've all seen them, no seat belts, all the head down while they think we can't see them on their phones - oh bring on the end date for the trial period - YAY!!!

From tomorrow, across three Auckland locations, we're trialing safety cameras to get a better understanding of how many people drive while using their mobile phones, and how many people don’t wear their seatbelts. This trial is the first of its kind in Aotearoa New Zealand.
While these are well-known issues, we don’t currently have accurate information about the scale of them. The six-month trial will provide useful insight as well as test the technology itself.

A key part of Road to Zero, New Zealand’s road safety strategy, involves supporting people to make good choices on our roads, which includes encouraging people to not use their phones while driving, and making sure everyone is wearing a seatbelt.

No enforcement action will be taken during the trial. No drivers will receive infringement notices, warnings, or any other communication from Waka Kotahi as a result of the trial. All images taken will be deleted within 48 hours, with a small number of anonymised images kept for reporting purposes. For more on the trial, visit www.nzta.govt.nz...

Do you want to get your wardrobe Winter-Ready? Do you want a fun activity for the family? Or do you just want to share a morning with like-minded people on a Saturday morning?
SUSTINNOWORX is holding a Recycle Market at Edmonton School on Saturday 18 June from 10am-2pm!
Sustinnoworx is an eco-store, preloved shop and training space based at 7/104 Central Park Drive. We pride ourselves in never dumping any of our excess stock; instead upcycling any clothing that is unsuitable to wear.

fb.me...
Help us to clear out excess stock and SAVE this good quality clothing from landfill by coming together for the planet at RECYCLE MARKET!

All clothing is only a gold coin donation, but that is not all that is on offer- fabric and haberdashery for the creatives, eco products, cultural cuisine and henna!

What are you supporting by coming to Recycle Market? Sustinnoworx is a social enterprise which exists as a training site for vulnerable women involved in the charitable organisation, Shakti. Shakti supports immigrant women effected by domestic violence, to safely reintegrate into society using housing, training and counselling. Shakti clients come to Sustinnoworx as part of their training, to learn retail, sustainability and upcycling skills. Through developing confidence, employability skills, English skills, and sustainability ideals, these women can integrate effectively and happily back into the community. Profits from preloved clothing, eco products and upcycled goods sold in the Sustinnoworx store go directly to supporting the housing and reintegration of these women.

We look forward to seeing you there!

French teen Eloi Rolland, who has been missing in Auckland since March 2020, told his family he wanted to bring them to New Zealand.

More than two years after his disappearance, his parents Thierry and Catherine Rolland have finally arrived from France.

They do not know what happened to their son, and they’re desperate for answers.

“We don’t know what’s happened,” Catherine said. “We realise he is perhaps in another place.”

But the couple remain hopeful that Eloi is alive and well and said they would always be there for him.
