food scraps wanted for ducks
We have 11 hungry ducks in our back yard at the moment. We would love a source of scrap food for them. Just wondering if anyone has, or knows of a restaurant, or supermarket in Richmond who would be happy to give us your leftovers / scraps/ old food? they eat almost anything. Just not citrus, or onions. And, if any of you close by have any old bread or other food as a one off, that would be great too. In fact, you would be welcome to come by and feed the ducks yourselves! they eat out of your hand. Brave kids love it! (we are in Heaphy St)
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
