Trapped sparrow

A single sparrow is somehow trapped in the glass foyer of the now empty Smith City building next to New World.

A single sparrow is somehow trapped in the glass foyer of the now empty Smith City building next to New World.
I have rung the 0800 number in the window which goes to the Smith City national centre and they were looking into who the building owner is. Someone also notified New World who were also going to investigate how to have the doors open.
Any other suggestions? There is a vertical gap of under an inch wide down the side of the glass sliders, but I doubt the bird would have squeezed in there, but there are no other obvious entry points unless someone has recently accessed the building. I can get seed to it but water is more important and I am not sure how to carry out that task.

We Say/You Say: trans-Tasman bubble

Hi Kāpiti!

Hi Kāpiti!

After more than a year of closed borders, Australians and New Zealanders will soon be able to jet-hop between countries after the government announced that the trans-Tasman travel bubble is to be operational from April 19.

With quarantine-free travel now possible, are you more likely to head across the Tasman or travel domestically?

Fronting Australian media yesterday, Jacinda Ardern not only spoke of the excitement of families being able to be reunited, but also pitched New Zealand tourist activities to Australian viewers.

"If there is a hot spot in one of the states of Australia we may just act in the same way that another state would ... Just prepare that there may be disruptions, but what better place in the world to be stuck. Am I right?," she said.

The trans-Tasman bubble will operate on a three tier basis: Continue, Pause and Suspend. If there are a few cases in Australia linked to the border, quarantine-free travel will continue. Travel may be paused for 72 hours if there are rogue community cases and in the instance of a state or nationwide lockdown, travel will be suspended.
