"The bird feeders are now bringing in a few more different varieties of small birds. Today a flock of greenfinches visited, and a sole yellowhammer! The yellowhammer (pictured right) was a real treat, as you know they are around as they are very tuneful, however they are difficult to see at times. Our kaka also visited at least twice today!"

Four legs. I have tried to move the legs and test how strong they are but they are solidly joined in to the top. No wobbles despite a splinter having come away by one leg.
It could do with a new paint . A test pot from Resenes would do it. Any colour you choose.
The top is orange formica. I have used the stool to sit on while painting and the green paint that has stuck on the formica is not about to come off. So the top could be painted too.
Thanks for looking.
Pickup is in Kuripuni.

Southland father and son, Robert and Bobby Baird have recently received their forestry qualifications, proving you are never too old to learn.
While Robert has practical experience gained during four decades in the bush, he says vocational training like the qualification he has just done is helping keep people safe.
Competenz assessor Neville Muir worked with Bairds throughout their training programme.
“Bobby is very driven to succeed and very organised. He’s also very keen to continue upskilling his crew and there are a lot of different certificates still to do,” he says.
While Bobby is his boss at work, Robert turns back into ‘dad’ at the end of the day. “I give him a hand during the day when he’s got a lot of work on. We have a great relationship and it’s a magic thing to be able to do to work with your son.”

Hi, I am looking for a small chicken house somewhere in the Wairarapa. Must be in good condition and big enough to house 4-6 chickens.
Over lockdown Neighbourly is running stories on SPCA pets that have been successfully adopted. This week it is Zoe.

This week it is Zoe.
“The adoption has progressed really well with our little Zoe. Before we went to pick her up, I had a whole list of elegant princess type of names to rename her, but now that she has fully settled in, we have come to realise she is quite the opposite of that and more of a mischief cheeky troublemaker.
After a couple of weeks of slowly introducing each other, Zoe and her feline brother have gotten along a lot better than we anticipated. What she lacks in hearing she definitely makes up in with her voice and all the random noises she constantly makes. We bought her a large expensive cat tower and of course she much prefers to sleep and play around in a paper bag, so that has been fun being woken up at 3am with her rustling around in the bag.
Her new favourite area of the house is the bathroom where she loves to sit on the bath for hours and watch the water slowly drip out of the tap or go and rip up every single piece of toilet paper. She is constantly making us laugh and is so full of character and is loved by all our family and friends. Thanks so much for everything.”
