During a fortnightly survey of the colony in mid-November, the Wellington Harbour Penguin Study team discovered 66 dead chicks – 54 of them in one day.
Their death has been attributed to silt and the water temperature in the harbour, which resulted in a lack of fish.
Washing chicken doesn’t remove bacteria, it just spreads it around. The best way to protect your whānau from getting sick is to wash your hands and kitchen tools after touching raw chicken, and make sure you cook chicken all the way through. Juices

We are back from holidays - sorry for that - in mean time have done new WOF and is now due January 2022
Stylish spacious 7-seats family car - perfectly comfortable for travelling in the holidays, drive the sports team, or transport stuff with all back seats flat alike a station wagon.
There are many Honda Odysseys around simply because they are great economical cars!
Includes 2 key-less keys , airbags, tinted windows, reverse beep & corner sensor, electric windows etc etc. Serviced annually, and tires under 3 years old - drives Average 9km/ltr in town / 14km/ltr long distance if car not completely full.
2 sets of dashboard buttons; English and Japanese. Center screen disconnected - we never cared.
Incredible really that not all station wagons have 7 seats - as fold down is with simply press of button! (pic on complete flat back is avail - but are only allowed 10 pics, and pic with only back seat folded is most common mode)
Check her out - as she priced to sell when compared to similar year/odo kms.
Call 022 0691743 to test drive :).
One of Wellington's new pop-up libraries is safe but “earthquake-prone”, after the council said it was fine, moved in with a Mayoral speech, then slapped stickers on the front doors two days later.

A sign at Te Awe library, on Brandon St, shows the building is at 16 per cent of new building standard, not because it is quake-prone but because it is yet to get the final council tick-off for strengthening work. The Code of Compliance Certificate (CCC) has been described by the council as being in the final stages since at-least July.
There are roughly 560 buildings, including 283 seen as high priority, around the city, which must be strengthened or demolished to meet new earthquake regulations brought in after the destruction caused by the Kaikōura earthquake.
Have you been to Baring Head? If not, you can check out the historic lighthouse, in the East Harbour Regional Park, this Saturday at 10am.
Greater Wellington is holding an open day and all are welcome.

The central Wellington sewerage pipe that broke, closing central city streets, was more than 100 years old.
Sewage flowed out onto the road after a pipe ruptured at the intersection of Victoria and Mercer streets on Monday afternoon.
Wellington Water confirmed the failed pipe was installed around the year 1910.
Repairing it is expected to take two to three days.
