Hi Neighbourly folk, have you spotted a kārearea lately? It is one of New Zealand's rarest birds but it is doing well in Wellington City.
If you have seen one, we would like to know where it was.

When Clifford Hallett blows out the candles on his cake in a couple of weeks, he'll likely wish for an extra leave day to celebrate.
Hallett has launched a petition to Parliament requesting it pass legislation to give all employees that right.

What do do you recall about the FOOD served on Christmas day when you were YOUNG?
MINE was in the dining room with a white tablecloth, mum serving chicken [we had not invented turkey in the olden days] and all the fresh veges dad brought in from the garden.
Desert was plum duff, with a SILVER coin slid in underneath, cream and custard and huge piles of garden ripe strawberries and cream.
We drank Curly Top fizzy drink.
Boxing day we headed off on holiday.
The SPCA Pet of the Day is Gabe from Porirua.

"I am a special dude who has had an unusual start to my rehoming journey. I am completely deaf but that doesn't stop me having a great time! I am a fun, loveable, boy who has stolen the hearts of everyone at the centre. I am looking for an experienced owner, who has a suitable property for me to thrive in. I'm always up for a walk or a game to play, and I love to find things to do and keep active. I am looking for a home with teenagers or adults, and a home without cats or small animals. I am happy to play with other active dogs, and love to be social with both people and dogs. If you are interested in me and my goofy personality - chat to the canine team."
