Salted Peanuts Worth Peanuts

Michael from Trentham

Bought from the bulk bins section of PaknSave, Upper Hutt yesterday a supply of unsalted peanuts for my Sun Conure parrot.

So when I came to distributing a quantity into one of his food trays, took the liberty to sample one myself. It was salty. So tried a few more and also salted.

Don't know the full consequences of giving a small parrot salt to eat daily but it aint good - just as salt is no go for dogs..

So PnS ahould be much more careful as some humans let alone parrots can die or be a stepping stone to organs breakdown from eating salt/sodium or too much salt/sodium.

Did phone the supermarket who were not particularly concerned.

Should they be?

And yes, it was the unsalted roasted peanuts bin the peanuts came from.
