Missing ducks

Sophie from Tawa

Hi neighbours,

We've noticed that ducks have been missing from the neighborhood.
There were two resting on the public lawn last night, and one went missing this morning. On the other occasion, there were ducks feather everywhere, and the two regular visiting ducks never shown up again.

Hi neighbours,

There were two resting on the public lawn last night, and one went missing this morning. On the other occasion, there were ducks feather everywhere, and the two regular visiting ducks never shown up again.
We used to enjoy seeing the ducks, and sometimes they bring little ducklings. But now we're really concerned that they'd be killed.
Is it illegal to kill wild ducks? Can I report this to any authorities?

Dear Neighbors

Recently I had a big operation (Bowel Cancer) and I need shower stool to help me during the recuperation. The shower stool hired for 6 weeks and returning on Tue 1 Oct. I had my first follow-up consultation and told by my surgeon which I need to have chemotherapy for 6 months; It means that I need the shower stool longer than expected. I will have another operation after the chemo. Therefore, I am looking for a shower stool which you have and unused it, also happy to give away for free. Many Thanks. Shirley
