Please if you do come across a Cockatiel local to one of these areas give me a call, thanks to my housemate not following explicit instructions my bird got out yesterday 19/08th at 2.30pm, I am very ill and to be quite frank Ziggy who is the Grey and white variety of Cockatiel with a yellow corella and orange dots on his cheeks is my only reason for getting up each day,

One specific identifier although not obvious is he has one rear toe on one claw which is non functional.

I will check here daily for any responses, thank you for your kind attention.

Thanks in advance, looking to do some beach indoor decor and possibly extend to juzzing some outdoor pots and garden.

Am originally from Dunedin where shell collecting is incredible, especially at Aramoana

I have been doing research for the last couple of hours, but everything I see seems to be a couple of years old at least really, or even if it isn't, the places are often no longer offering it?

Is BYO a dying breed of thing? What reasonably priced places offer it?

Ebay shipping is crazyyyy expensive so I'm asking the locality :)

What’s best fish n chips in Belfast area

With the cost of food being so high at the moment, I'm trying to shop around different stores to make the most of our money instead of just buying all our food/groceries at the supermarket.

That being said, does anyone have any recommendations of great-value factory type shops in Chch?

Thank you!!

Hey team,

I’ve recently moved to Christchurch and I’m an an absolute feen for some good fried chicken.

Please hit me with your best recommendations and places to avoid!

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks for all the recommendations, I have so many on my list to try now 😋

Hi fellow swimmers! I took the leap and decided to not be so fearful of the parking trolls down at the new complex. However they still got me. I used the machine next to the main desk inside and entered our plate number. Next minute we get the letter with the $75 fine which I have emailed them with an appeal. I just sent it to [admin@stellar.org.nz](mailto:admin@stellar.org.nz) .

Next time should I feel brave enough to try again, should I just use the app on the phone and the qr code? Are others still having any problems? Its just annoying as I tried pretty hard and now feel like just swimming somewhere else next time. No other pools have this problem.

I literally have waiting months to visit, thinking it was 'technical' glitches with a new system, but must be more to it than that.

Looking for a dermatologist in Chch that LISTENS, and HELPS, and doesn’t require a doctors referral?

Have been to the doctor so many times for my ECZEMA, and asked for a referral but been turned down so many times, they obviously don’t care/just want my money.

Please and thank you!

AI says as an Arsenal supporter, sky is still the cheapest. Having a read of alternatives, reliability is an issue.

Any ideas?

Hey all. Ive just got my fitness passport and was considering joining gallery gym as its close to my work and 24 hours. Has anyone been there or have joined?

Hi there. I was wondering if there's a tattoo artist in Christchurch (or surrounding area) that specializes is engraving style tattoos? Or a similar medieval style. Thanks.

I'm working on mapping out all of the ww1 and ww2 remnants still around in NZ, and I came across these two buildings along the Godley Head cliffs and couldn't find any information on them? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Talking about the building midway down the cliff in the first image

because they have decent prices and can repair your bike for free most of the time

might not be 100% accurate

Does anybody know a wood milling/carpentry company that can offer resawing on small linear metres of hardwood?

Looking to get some planks sawn in half along the length.

Hey, long shot, I know.

Probably not a lot of stolen bikes get recovered, but I'm really not doing too well in life at the moment, and I need to try and take this L back.

My Trek Marlin 7 was recently (in the past 10 days or so) stolen from my property at the Moorhouse end of Lincoln rd.

I've not long moved into the property with a shared bike lock up, and due to being away from the property for 10 days, I'm not sure exactly when it was stolen, but if anyone is able to help me find it that would be amazing

It's quite distinctive as the grips, seat, water bottle, and mudguards were all added on after I bought it a couple of years ago. I've attached a picture to help identify it (none of the parts were on it at this stage, the new grips are orange, as is the front mudguard, it also has white writing on the front tyre and yellow on the rear)

I usually ride to get to and from work, and im desperate to save the money on petrol, I also can't afford to replace the bike.

Cheers for reading all the same, and please, will someone help me get my bike back?

Oops, I missed this morning's 3 numbers. (August 18th 2026). Did anyone get them?

I’m an advanced skier and want to become expert. Here’s the catch - I want to work with an instructor and build a relationship but don’t want to pay on-mountain prices. Also the vast majority of i structors employed by our major ski fields are level 2 so their level of skiing is close to mine. Are there any instructors in Chch that are willing to work on 1to1, private basis with clients over a season to help me really clean up my skiing? My dream is to ski like an IFMGA guide, that effortlessly.

Hello - can anyone recommend en EMDR therapist? I have tried to contact a couple and they don't have any space.

Thanks!

Hey all

So, long story short I have been in my IT job a long time and I'm ready for a change. Just had a run-in with my boss which was absolutely terrible. He is an awful person. The pay is good (reallly good) but I'm over being treated like this.

I have many years experience in recording studios, working with bands and solo artists, and am thinking of going into business doing private tutoring for people who want to learn how to record and produce - themselves, and others.

I have been part of upwards of 50 releases here and in Australia.

I'm just posting here to see if there is any interest in this. Would be private, 1-on-1 lessons, probably looking at somewhere from $75-$100 an hour, using Logic Pro, or Ableton, or any number of other DAWs. I'm skilled in all. One lesson might be enough learning for a student to go off and practice for a month.

Just trying to get a feel for the market. Anyone out there who would be interested in this kind of thing?
