On a visit to Willowbank wild life park with a Flickr friend September 2019 Christchurch, New Zealand.
Peafowl is a common name for three bird species in the genera Pavo and Afropavo of the family Phasianidae, the pheasants and their allies. Male peafowl are referred to as peacocks, and female peafowl as peahens, though peafowl of either sex are often referred to colloquially as "peacocks".

Founded by the Willis family more than four decades ago, Willowbank is still owned and operated by members of the founding family. With more than 120 000 annual visitors, and growing, Willowbank is popular with local, national and international visitors.
New Zealand’s most comprehensive NZ themed wildlife park, the Willowbank experience tells the story of our country’s natural heritage. Using pioneering and innovative display techniques, with an emphasis on creating a natural environment and an up-close and personal interactive experience, Willowbank showcases one of New Zealand’s best displays of native species. Willowbank was the first to open a glass-free nocturnal house for kiwi in a natural environment, guaranteeing viewings every time.
Willowbank is a New Zealand leader in conservation, with success in many national, Australasian and in-house breeding programmes focusing on New Zealand native and endangered species, as well as many rare and heritage breeds of farm stock. Scientific research projects, and local partners including the Department of Conservation, the Styx River Living Laboratory, the Rare Breeds Society, the NZ Conservation Trust and the South Island Wildlife Hospital, are supported by and work alongside Willowbank.

Game of the Week features Ocean Lakes (12-0) and Oscar Smith (11-0) who meets for the fourth time in playoffs.
Ocean Lakes, the defending state champions motto is to go 1-0 and they look forward to that challenge. "We know what it feels like to go home and know what it's like to keep winning. Just play Dolphin football," said Sr. RB, Justin Smith.
Oscar Smith won state championships in 2008 and 2011. This year still undefeated but with plenty of games that came down to the wire. "Tough battles in the years past but we have to work for what we earned," said Sr. Center, Wayne Lee.
Last season in playoffs, the Dolphins won 49-28 over the Tigers. The game will be played this Friday, Nov. 27th at 7 p.m. at Oscar Smith.
Red Weasel Media RWM will be there to capture the action

quanti di voi, almeno una volta nella vita, visitando una esposizione d'arte, avrebbero voluto staccare un'opera dalle pareti e portarsela a casa senza chiedere niente a nessuno? ;)
se anche voi avete questa piccola cleptomania artistica e girando per Roma (musei, gallerie, locale, etc) intercettate una di queste 20 piccoli acrilici su tele (cm 5x5) - abusivamente installate da anonimi nel mese di dicembre - potete finalmente coronare questo sogno... si sa a natale siamo tutti più buoni no?
le opere sono solo 20, numerate e firmate - mi sono state sottratte nottetempo dai suddetti anomini e abusivi installatori - non sono capolavori ma sono GRATIS: se le vedete e vi piacciono, prendetevele e fatevene quello che volete: incorniciatele, attaccatele, regalatele, chiudetele in un cassetto, insomma fatti vostri, ricordatevi però che a natale siamo tutti più buoni no?
E se proprio siamo tutti più buoni e volete contraccambiare il pensiero vi consiglio, senza impegno, una associazione a cui fare una piccola donazione (anche un euro va bene secondo le possibilità di ognuno)
L'associazione si chiama AISEA, questo è il loro sito, www.aisea.org/, loro non sanno niente di questa iniziativa, io però da quando ho conosciuto questa rara malattia che colpisce i bambini e che al momento non ha una cura risolutiva ho sempre fatto delle piccole donazioni a loro, se volete potete farlo anche voi, queste sono le coordinate bancarie a cui effettuare la donazione:
1) bonifico bancario su conto corrente N. 044066330144 intestato a A.I.S.EA Onlus presso la Banca INTESA SAN PAOLO filiale di MERATE N. 4358
IBAN IT34 I030 6951 5330 4406 6330 144
2) versamento su Conto Corrente Postale N. 13633466 intestato a A.I.S.EA Onlus
3) assegno non trasferibile intestato a A.I.S.EA Onlus

A vostro buon cuore e buon natale

how many of you, at least once in your lives, have visited an art exhibit and wanted to take a piece of art off the wall and bring it home without saying anything to anyone?
if you've ever had this little kleptomaniac tendency and, traveling through Rome (museums, galleries, clubs, etc) you encounter one of these 20 small acrylics on canvas (5x5) - covertly, and anonymously, installed during the month of December - you can finally fulfill your dream....everyone knows that at Christmas we're all a little kinder, no?
there are only 20 pieces, signed and numbered. they aren't masterpieces, but aren't FREE: if you see one of them and like it, take it and do whatever you want: frame it, hang it, gift it, shut it up in a drawer, in any case, it's all yours. Remember though, it's Christmas and we're all a little kinder, no?
And if we're really all a little kinder and want to pay it forward, I'd recommend an association that you can make a small donation to (even a euro is fine, according to what you can afford).
The association is called AISEA, this is their site, www.aisea.org. They don't know anything about what I'm doing, but from the time that I first found out about this rare disease that effects children, and at the moment has no cure, I've always made small donations to them. If you want, you can do it too, these are the bank details for any donation:
1) bonifico bancario su conto corrente N. 044066330144 made out to A.I.S.EA Onlus at the Banca INTESA SAN PAOLO filiale di MERATE N. 4358
IBAN IT34 I030 6951 5330 4406 6330 144
2) versamento su Conto Corrente Postale N. 13633466 made out to A.I.S.EA Onlus
3) Non-transferable check made out to A.I.S.EA Onlus
