Forty names for kākā
The bird with a big mouth. The bird who leads the flock. The bird who announces the day. The bird who sounds the alarm. The dark bird. The rare bird. The noble, silly, insomniac parrot we’re going to ...

Kākā recovery in Wellington, incredible story I’ve just finished for @NZGeographic goes much deeper than conservation of the birds, a reconnecting of knowledge and what’s to come. Exciting. nzgeo.com/stories/forty-… @WgtnCC @docgovtnz @Forest_and_Bird @andrewlittle_nz

Fangs! Leg hairs! Venom profiles! Writer ‪@michelleduff.bsky.social‬ and photographer @robsuisted.bsky.social take a closer look at the noble false widow, the exotic spider that’s quietly set up home in New Zealand.

Rise of the noble false widow
Lots of spiders are very good at one or two things. Stalking, maybe. Setting traps. Biting. But Steatoda nobilis, the invasive spider now spreading in New Zealand, has an arsenal of tactics—including ...

My 8yo just found out he paid 7c tax to IRD last month from his savings. “Yay, now I can swear Dad!” “How come son?” “Well mum said I could only swear once I started paying tax!” Actual. LOL, can’t fault the logic

Sometimes people try to tell the truth accidentally. Why was Andrew Bayly given days to tell his family? Have a listen at this odd unprepared answer: "I've never had an affai.......um, anything like this happen before".

Looked like MP Andrew Bayly nearly made a Freudian slip with the word “affair” getting part way out of his mouth during the TV standup?

5 marlin have now been caught off Waikanae/Kapiti in the last week. And today a Mahi-mahi fish was caught near Kapiti island. Changes to the Wellington area marine environment in my lifetime are extreme (and concerning)

Subscribing to NZ Geo wasn't on my radar until their recent appeal to find new subscribers or become nonviable, but I received my first issue and if this is the standard then I am *in*. Brilliant stuff. Mosses! Birds! Unpleasant but important greenwashing facts! @nzgeo.bsky.social you rock 😍

REALLY BOSS?!! Incredible how hard-wired my #corgi pup is to work stock on the slightest suggestion, & how much self control the pup has despite it. Most people don’t realise they’re a cattle breed, she has the fully installed 🐄 module in that 🧠 .

Bloody hell. Visited an old friend & hunting mate’s wife yesterday bc he’s become full ward of the state w early dementia, he won’t be coming out. It’s a horrid sharp decline, end likely near & a worn out spouse tht must move on. They’ve been together from teenagers. Getting older isn’t for pussies

The cutting of rural school bus services is going to cause significant rural disruption & change. The segment on TV1 on the cuts in Hawkes Bay is terrible. The ripples are huge for rural families, employment and community. Our local one is being cut next year too

Just had a relaxing visit to the Suisted Stables at Goodwood. Built by my Swedish ancestor Charles Suisted in 1848, first settlers in North Otago. 2nd oldest farm bldg in NZ. Likely started the traditional red iron oxide colour to farm bldgs bc Suisted came from Iron business…🧵

A picture of RNZ news headlines. One is about Health NZ axing 1500 jobs, the other than bus and train fares may go up 70%.

Such a bloody shame. This beautiful hill stood for decades with a power pole placed gently without impact. Now to replace it we have to f*ck the place. Grass won’t take in summer now on clay, will be bare and weedy for years, and the bank will be sloughing eyesore for ages. Progress huh?!

With a press photog last night showing me his work. He’d made some top pix focussing on the specky; face paint, taiaha, action. Reality was 1/2 half were Pākehā supporting. We talked about skewing of news imagery towards scandal from reality. Hard to make striking frames of the avg #Hikoi supporter

This is why Seymour shouldn’t be engaged with… it’s bad faith all the way down, his basic bullshit & easy answers will find an audience. He’s a poisonous snake with his fangs in NZ, the least he’s engaged with the better to slow the poisons spread. www.rnz.co.nz/news/te-manu...

Hīkoi not representative of New Zealand, David Seymour says
Seymour came out of the Beehive today to acknowledge the hīkoi and wave at the protesters - but retreated inside after just a few minutes.

Corgis are misunderstood. They’re a close quarter cattle herding breed w dwarfism to work amongst flying hooves, strong willed from standing ground on bulls, loyal & v smart. Always been against racing bc it wrongly stereotypes, but cripes the dogs had a fun day w their #corgi breed. Wld race again
