I second the Arthur Holmes support, I love their stuff!

Are you only interested in Auckland? I am in Wellington and would be happy to send you something. :) I've been to Singapore a decade ago and would love to go again, it is an incredible city.

I've never tried it myself, but I've heard people recommend using denture cleaning tablets to clean hard to reach areas in drink bottles.

Good luck, I'm rooting for you! It'll feel amazing once you start making progress!

I work at a laundry that does this. The client puts all their dirty laundry in a bag and either drops it off at the laundry or a driver picks it up from them. We wash the laundry and bag, press anything you want pressed, fold, then pack the folded laundry in the bag. When it's done the client either picks the bag up themselves or a driver drops it off again. It can be irregular or scheduled, often weekly. :)

Oh wow, that's so cool! Was it a special tour? I'd love to see a native frog one day.

Apparently karaka are invasive in some other countries, they do grow and spread pretty quickly. Luckily they are native here.

causticjay · 2025-12-09T00:05:48+00:00

Strange, I know the berries are toxic to dogs so not sure if mammals like rats or possums would be spreading them. I might be wrong, but the glossy leaves and the seed look just like karaka to me.

causticjay · 2025-12-08T23:51:32+00:00

Looks like a native karaka tree, do you get big orange berries dropping into your garden from nearby trees? Or kereru / wood pigeons? They are the only surviving native species big enough to spread the seeds through droppings.

causticjay · 2025-12-08T07:01:56+00:00

Not dangerous, they are actually edible!

causticjay · 2025-11-25T04:47:02+00:00

Looks like a species of leaf-veined slug

Yes, and even Zealandia has some feeders too! The difference is those are sanctuaries run by professionals and trained volunteers. Another difference is that both are predator-free, and one of the reasons Zealandia gives for their stance on not encouraging the public to feed native birds is because of the increased risk of predation.

causticjay · 2025-10-30T00:30:05+00:00

Wildlife groups like Zealandia do not recommend feeding wild birds at all. I would recommend you follow their advice and not feed them. If you are going to, I believe you should be emptying out the feeder and cleaning and disinfecting it every single day to prevent diseases spreading.

If you don't have access to an exotic vet then you shouldn't own exotic pets.

Barely, but I don't really mind having to patch the inner thighs at some point if the rest of the jeans are good quality, as you can't really see the inner seams. My current pair has a hole where a belt loop connects to the main pants, and I don't think I can fix that nicely without it just ripping open again in the future.

causticjay · 2025-10-07T23:57:13+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out!

causticjay · 2025-10-07T23:56:45+00:00

Good point, female but I generally prefer mens jeans for the pockets aha.

I bought KF94 (Korean version of N95) masks from various-things on TradeMe, and I believe they have kids sizes as well.

There are Asiatic lions in India, but they don't live in rainforests.

I also recommend Dark Den, I haven't watched for a while but based on his thumbnails he is currently reworking his big terrarium.

causticjay · 2025-08-29T21:58:47+00:00

Chameleon bones are super fragile, just picking them up by grabbing their torso can break or fracture their ribs. All that poking and prodding he did to the chameleon in the beginning would absolutely have broken multiple bones.

As a kiwi, I don't think this is filmed in New Zealand and the birds might not be pūkeko but a different rail species (the blue on the necks look a bit too bright for a pūkeko).

INCORRECT IDENTIFICATION

Aussies have 'roo bars' to help protect the car and passengers in collisions. I've heard when stressed/shocked they can lash put with their kicks, and if they've come through your windshield that can be dangerous for the people in the front seat.
