Once upon a time in the heart of Rynfield, Benoni, a structure stood that was akin to a feathered kingdom – a bustling aviary filled with the harmonies of diverse bird species. In this little nook of the Bunny Park, visitors young and old could stroll beneath a vibrant tapestry of wings, captivated by the symphony of tweets, chirps, and songs. It was a sanctuary where the air hummed with life, and the rainbow of plumage dazzled all who entered its gates.

The walk-in aviary was not just any ordinary feathered haven; it was crafted with vision and care, inspired by a structure at the Wassenaar Zoo near “The Hague” in the Netherlands. Mr. L.J. van Riet, the Senior Architectural Assistant of the Town Engineers Department at the time, brought this flight of fancy to life for the people of Benoni. With natural materials, the aviary was designed to echo the rhythm of the wild, serving as a harmonious home for its winged inhabitants.

Within its meshed walls, this aviary provided a slice of paradise where families could gather to observe the beauty of flight. Children’s laughter mingled with the rustling of feathers, as the aviary played host to more than fifty exotic species, each adding its unique hue to the mosaic of the Bunny Park experience. It was an educational oasis, offering valuable lessons about nature’s delicate balance and the enchantment it holds.

Alas, like all tales with their twists and turns, this aviary met its unfortunate demise in 2018. Much to the dismay of the Benoni community, the aviary that once lifted so many spirits was demolished. Though it stands no more, its memory flutters through the hearts of those who cherished it. Even in absence, it serves as a gentle reminder of the vibrant life that once animated the Bunny Park.

While the soaring spirits of our feathered friends are no longer housed here, their legacy lives on. The Bunny Park continues to be a hallowed ground for families seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature’s abundance. Efforts to rejuvenate the park have ensured that the magic of those whispering wings is not forgotten. The relentless energy and unwavering flight continue to be celebrated as a poignant chapter in the park’s history.

Let us remember the aviary as an emblem of joy, a beacon of the past that illuminated paths for playful discovery in the Bunny Park. Though the latticed sanctuary is gone, we carry forward the delight and learnings it bestowed upon us, forever etched into the legacy of Bunny Park.

As the park’s contours take shape, Dries Venter, Deputy Head of Parks and Recreation, makes an earnest appeal: “We’re building with blocks of generosity,” he declares. With a heartwarming nod to the ‘Spirit of Community,’ the department seeks contributions – from cement to wire mesh – in realizing this collective dream. Generous benefactors can anticipate recognition for their contributions, as their names will be etched in the very spaces they helped to enhance.

As dawn broke on Sunday, the 26th of July, the spirit of volunteerism was in full swing. Equipped with black bags, plastic bags, and rubber gloves, the Bunny Park Volunteer group met at 10:00 am to continue with the cleanup project. Their acts of kindness were nothing short of phenomenal, and their dedication unwavering. This was a community that truly embodied the essence of turning compassion into action.

Team BAT observes with pride and extends a heartwarming salute to the Bunny Park Volunteer group. For they are not just talkers but doers who lead by example. Their efforts are a rocking testament to what can be achieved when kindness is put into motion.

Looking ahead, Team BAT will convene with the Head of Department for Parks to discuss further plans. This is only the beginning of a journey that promises enhanced care and a nurturing environment for the park’s residents.

Stay tuned, and watch this space, dear friends. Together, with tenacity and teamwork, we can indeed make a difference.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of psychotherapy that is particularly effective for individuals who experience intense emotions. It was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder but has since been adapted for other complex mental health issues, including eating disorders and depression. The core insight of DBT is its focus on the synthesis of opposites, the most fundamental being acceptance and change. This therapy combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of mindful awareness, distress tolerance, and acceptance. Essentially, DBT helps patients learn to manage their emotions, cope with stress, and improve interpersonal relationships through a structured program that emphasizes both the patient’s strengths and their need for change.
