Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

Zealandia is reporting that one of their takahē is sitting on a nest.
"While we are excited about this, these birds live at Zealandia as a retiree couple, which means the likelihood of any egg hatching is quite low."

Zealandia is reporting that one of their takahē is sitting on a nest.
"While we are excited about this, these birds live at Zealandia as a retiree couple, which means the likelihood of any egg hatching is quite low."
Takahē live in swampy environments and so run the risk of their egg washing away in big weather events. Zealandia say they will do their best to protect the nest and are promising to keep the public informed of any positive outcomes.

Cat no longer missing! Thank you!

Hey Ohiro Road,
My cat Diesel has not come home. He hates getting wet and I'm worried.
He is a medium-ish sized cat with short glossy black fur and golden eyes. He has a half dozen white hairs on his chest and a tiny patch of white fur on one toe. In the sun or bright light his fur has dark brown stripes hiding in the black. He's microchipped.
If you live between 400 and 500 Ohiro road could you please keep an eye out for him? He might have decided he likes you and if he has- please kick him out and send him on home. He's pretty good at begging with his tiny pitiful chirps but he's well fed! He's very loved and the kids and I are really missing him.
Please call or text Marti on 0211489054 with any information.
