David Klein: For the love of birds (and Wellington) Calling all bird lovers! In a celebration of our feathery friends, David Klein shares fun scientific facts with a dollop of silly at the Wellington Fringe Festival in the aptly named David Klein prese...

Jesus ouch!!!!

I would also like to build a little glass house for seed propagation because my house gets full of seedling trays coming into summer 😆😆😆 and I want to get some water tanks so I can use the water from my roof.

We have grown so much kai and given kai and so many beautiful flowers to friends and family. Still heaps of mahi to do eventually there will be no grass and more fruit trees. it is such a privilege to have a garden. Eventually i would like to have a free kai/putiputi stand outside our whare

I have never paid anyone to do something i can do myself before so it feels ethically interesting

Maybe it was a lion

Paying someone to mow my lawns feels very weird because I can physically mow my own lawns and I save every cent so it seems like a waste of money but my good i am significantly less overwhelmed now that i dont need to worry about them.

I paid someone to mow my lawns because I have realised that studying, working full time and single parenting is very hard and I is very tired and I have many things to do

Those are very wide claw prints for a cat 😆😆😆

And māori have been prosecuted for catching trout with no license its all very fucked up

I have always been fascinated by the role of these types of organisations in colonising our taiao since i found a record book detailing all the eels that were killed as part of early acclimatisation societies (later to become fish and game)
