Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

A bonus Friday Feathered Friend from Louise Thomas, who lives in central Lower Hutt.
"A falcon has taken to skulking in the oak tree outside my office. She is a little nefarious, watching the sparrows and rock pigeons (falcon fodder) in the park and on my front lawn until the tui call her out by screeching at her. A shady character, but I love her. Here she is trying to sell me a used watch. New Zealand falcon/kārearea (Falco novaeseelandiae), immature female, Woburn, Lower Hutt. I assume this must be the offspring of the more mature female who sometimes does the rounds around here as well."

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.
