Poll: SHAW'S BIRD PARK - THE CHALLENGE

Rudi from Hamilton Lake

I went down to the Shaw's Bird Park today just to satisfy myself that I still value the good things in life. I understand that the World is changing and we are pressured to change with it and in the process probably loose out on preserving things that really should matter to us.
So, here is the challenge, go down to Shaw's Bird Park for a walk about and decide then if we should save this jewel for Hamilton.
Entrance is FREE - The address is 143 Hall Rd, Tamahere 3282

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
