Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I know I keep talking about Kereru but last night on the way home from work one crash landed in a shrub like three feet from me and started feeding and by the gods they look ridiculous up close with their tiny heads and huge bodies.

We have a couple that hang out on the power lines near home - watched one calmly fall off the other day, plummet to the ground and perform a very sketchy crash landing in the nick of time. Gorgeous idiots lol

That's awesome! We had one come and land in our flowering plum tree a couple of days ago. They are so heavy, the whole tree bends. And this is a mature, decades old tree.

I love those bumbling idiots. My favourite is when my dog starts barking at them, and they just completely ignore her.
