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.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
