A memorial service was held for one of New Zealand's most famous birds, Manukura the Little White Kiwi, at Pukaha National Wildlife Centre on Saturday.
The little white kiwi with a feisty personality was more than just a bird to those who met her and the institutions who served as her guardians.
The extremely rare bird made the news across the world as the first white kiwi chick to be hatched in captivity back in 2011, and she died on December 27, 2020 after surgery to remove an infertile egg that had become stuck.

Plasma TV to Give Away

Rebecca from Karori

THIS UNIT MIGHT NOW HAVE BEEN GIVEN AWAY. I WILL WAIT UNTIL CHECKING TO SEE IF IT IS PICKED UP.

THIS UNIT MIGHT NOW HAVE BEEN GIVEN AWAY. I WILL WAIT UNTIL CHECKING TO SEE IF IT IS PICKED UP.

I have a +10 year old large plasma TV to give away. It is in very good condition since it really hasn't been used as much as it should have been. The thing is, I don't watch TV on it anymore (typically all my TV/Movie watching is on my computer or mobile now). It is Heavy, so whoever wants it needs to pick it up themselves.

Link to TV information: www.bestbuy.com...

Since it doesn't have Freeview builtin however I have a Freeview decoder (which has a 500gig recorder) which I am also giving away with it, as well as a Version 1 Google Cast.

Link to Decoder/DVD Recorder Information:
www.freeviewnz.tv...

These are great condition, so you could use them for your main watching units, or even in a games room, or something. A bit to big for a bedroom (but who am I to judge :D)

Let me know if you would like to pick it up (you probably need a couple of people to move it, it is heavy)

SPCA Pet of the Day: Ruma

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

"Ruma has it that I'm available for adoption. I'm a one and a half year old, medium cross breed - with a mix of staffy and boxer. I'm very affectionate with humans. Although, I'm recommended to stay with teenagers and older, as I'm a little unfamiliar with children. … View more"Ruma has it that I'm available for adoption. I'm a one and a half year old, medium cross breed - with a mix of staffy and boxer. I'm very affectionate with humans. Although, I'm recommended to stay with teenagers and older, as I'm a little unfamiliar with children. Otherwise, I'm the biggest cuddle bug! I have been socialised with some dogs at the centre, so I won't mind living with a friendly, playful dog. I would love a family that can take me out for walks everyday and keep me active."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second-hand Wellington East Girls College uniform for sale - $250 for THE ENTIRE LOT - would cost over $1,000 to buy new!

We’re paying this incredible bargain forward to assist a student starting at WEGC. This uniform has been sitting unused since we bought it from a very kind family last year when our daughter was struggling to choose between WEGC & WHS. She has opted for High 🙂

In great condition (used for two years by one careful owner), this would suit a slim girl:
- Blazer size 12 (AS NEW pockets still sewn shut, only worn a few times)
- long sleeve jumper size S
- sleeveless jumper size S
- skirt size 10
- raincoat size 12 XLong
- scarf
- tie
- PE shirts: 2x size 12; 1x size 14
- PE shorts: 1x size 12; 1x size S
- long sleeve white shirts: 2x size 12
- short sleeve white shirts: 4x size 12 (one brand new still in packet)

Prefer to sell as a bundle - not individual items. Send me a pm if you’re interested 😊 We live in Island Bay. Welcome to try on

Price: $250

"WWF Raw - Pied Stilt edition. All carefully choreographed - fake body slams, no pied stilts were harmed. They both turned around and chased a grey teal after this encounter, who was a bit indignant about being seen off when he wasn't doing anything - the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
