2023 Wild Birds of New Zealand Calendar
I'm taking pre-orders for the "2023 Wild Birds of New Zealand" calendar now. Calendars available mid-October.
These are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper.
These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is usually $11.80 (a little less for Wellington, but whatever the cost it will be on your invoice), plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to six calendars for the one shipping cost.
These are posted in archive envelops inside home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3 - this is included for free!
If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST tax invoices available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account when the calendars arrive back and are ready to ship, or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship by mid October.
There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras I had printed sold out last year and several people missed out.
Thanks for supporting my venture. Message me or Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz if you would like a PDF of the whole calendar to have a look at before you order.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
