Alexandrine parrot has flown away

Anne-Marie from Stokes Valley

Please neighbours,  can you have a look for a large parakeet; green with a black and red band around his neck and a tail of about 30 cm.  He got out Friday around 11am when I had a delivery made and although his wings were clipped, in this wind and after his moult he will have some lift.  he escaped from August Street so could be in Amundsen Grove or Thomson Grove, but also further in the valley or have been blown to Taita..  Hopefully he's holding on to a tree somewhere.  If you see him, or hear an unfamiliar bird screech/sound, (he gets very vocal between 5 and 7pm, and around 9am) please call me on 9717571 or 027 9515770 or o21 585 112.   He is hand-tame but weary of strangers.  Thank you,  Anne-Marie

BLACKHAWK CORGI RACES SUNDAY NOV 17

Michael from Trentham

Who is the fastest Corgi in NZ?

This will be decided on Sunday, November 17 at Belmont Domain, Lower Hutt with racing starting at 2pm.

Thirty Pembroke and Cardigan Corgis will take to the 60 metre track for racing like no other.

Competition comes from as far away as Auckland and Whanganui and if you want to stretch it a little - Scotland - with the very recent arrival of Skye and his owners from the other side of the world.

The youngest to compete is 7 month old, Atlas whilst Bonnie at 14 years is part of the seniors (nine and over) event.

Spectators very welcome to this sixth annual championship organised by the Wellington Welsh Corgi Club.
