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.

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............

Bentonite Soap and Shampoo Bar from $2.80

There is much more info on this amazing ingredient, but I've kept it brief.
Benefits of Bentonite For Skin:
This amazing clay helps to remove toxins from your pores, allows skin to heal and reduces inflammation. Bentonite clay helps in the lightening of acne marks on the face. Bentonite clay helps to heal scar tissue and stretch marks.

Last year alone, 427 serious injuries claims were made to ACC because of crashes and driving incidents over this long weekend.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:

- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions

With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.

The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.

Have a great long weekend!
