Pigeons - pets or pests?

Ian from Glenholme

Hello friends and neighbours: We have an increasing pest problem, don't we. Pigeons! And unattended moggies. But we'll come back to them some other time.
Unfortunately these sweet little birdies are not only creating an interesting "look" in the skies" but pooping on our roofs, crapping on our driveways and door steps and courtyards, as well as our lawns and driving all the native birds, sparrows and waxeyes away. Is there a humane way to rid the area of this pestilence? Or do we need to call in a "Pest exterminator"? Something a little more effective than a popgun?? Our Glenholme area is a 'nice area'. We'd like it to stay taht way without the pigeon-poop............

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱
