Thank you for using Neighbourly
Fa’afetai mo le agalelei fa’atua’oi literally translates to "thank you for your neighbourly kindness". We think that's a pretty special way to show your appreciation for a neighbour. Happy Samoan Language Week!

It is not Friday and the picture is not of a bird but this close-up of a wasp face by regular Friday Feathered Friend contributor Andrew Gorrie is too good not to use.
Something a bit different this week. I am not sure where Chilli is from but her owner Joy is very proud of her.

"This is my 25year old Chinchilla called Chilli. She is a Standard grey colour, and she is the sweetest wee girl, who loves her cuddles and snuggles with Mum, and loves pats and tickles from all of our family. Its very very rare to have a Chinchilla who loves to be touched as much as she does. She is a rescue who came from people who didn't know how to properly care for her. Her favorite treats are dried Red rose petals, dried rose buds and most of all, her Apple sticks. I love her so much."

"I was going to leave the tūī for my checklist until the kowhai or flax were flowering later in the year - you know, for the poses, but this guy just about landed on my lap in the Herb Garden at the Wellington Bot Gardens - he's on a stake by the curry plant, which funnily enough, really smells like curry. He was singing up a storm in the pine trees before swooping down for a quick sniff. Bird #83 in 2022."

Whilst our crews work to repair the burst, we have arranged for a water tanker to go to the shopping centre at the corner of Te Hiko Street and Takapuwahia Drive. Affected residents can go and collect drinking water anytime from 8.30AM.
The burst water main has begun to drain water from the Titahi Bay drinking water reservoir. We are asking all residents in Titahi Bay to conserve water now to avoid emptying the reservoir before repairs are complete. You can do this by taking shorter showers, holding off doing the laundry or watering the garden.
Our team are on site now taking urgent action to get this pipe repaired as quickly as possible.
We will be providing regular updates on the status of repairs and the reservoir levels.

Council staff have been paid the living wage since 2019, but last week council voted to formally apply for accreditation through Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand.
It means council will continue to pay the living wage as it increases annually.
Porirua Mayor Anita Baker supports the Living Wage.
The current living wage is $22.75 an hour which will rise to $23.65 in September – more than 10% higher than the adult minimum wage of $21.20.
Do you agree that council staff should be paid the Loving Wage?
