Over the coming year, the average property price for Wellington would cross the $1 million mark, said Nicki Cruickshank, a real estate agent with Tommy’s Wellington. “You can't really get a three-bedroom house in Wellington under $1m now, anyway.”

Hi, I’ve been looking after 2 baby I think blackbirds for a few days after my cat bought them in. The nest is too high to put them back.
However we are going away tomorrow and we don’t have anyone to look after them. They are not feeding by themselves yet but I don’t think they are far away from this.

If anyone is keen to take them and look after them until they can leave the nest that would be appreciated.

They are currently housed in a shoe box and I’ve got bird feed for them.
