a small donation or trade is all i would ask for..............
hey its Nancy here ( yes... its me again ) lol
ive decided to sell or trade some of my birds due to me needing my front room back..... its been designed and used for more than 4 years, as a "free flying bird room" but now its going to have to be used for other reasons, which are also very important . so unless someone has a medium size outdoor aviary available, to be traded with or to sell to me these are the birds that need a good home :
1 young (but with a mind of his own) red- rump........tame
2 male zebra finches ( one of them had a toe amputated BUT is okay in every other way) one light brown (unknown sex) java sparrow ( who also had a leg amputated, and was given to me for rehabilitation) she/he is now ready to be going to a good home ) one 9 month old, bright yellow female budgie one bright blue male budgie 2 years old and was an award winning budgie ) and 2 hand reared cockateils...1 three year old Latino male. tame......one 11 month old Latino / mixed female....tame . ive enclosed some photos so let me know if anyone is interested. i would defiantly want to know, that they are being cared and homed for in the BEST way.....as they also are my babies ( tears)
but i feel and thought about this for a VERY long LONG time , but the bottom line is " that there is a very old human being, who has no family in NZ and is in in a desperately poor and unstable situation right now, that i feel needs to be helped out first......as the government is not ! (typical ).
trust me I tried....and ive been send from pillar to post with that lot, WAY to many times now. So enough is enough, as in the end...if you want something done, there is no point of pissing and moaning about it for to long....and you might as well do it yourself !!!!!
just one last thought regarding government agencies and departments ...
( and i soooooo hope they are reading this bit)
"if we lie to the government ,its called a FELONY....but, if they lie to us, its called politics " ?????
basically in my eyes, there are two kinds of human beings in this world.......GIVERS and TAKERS. The takers may eat better, but the givers "SLEEP BETTER" regards to all and let me know if you are interested.
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
