Sparrows dying is something toxic in the environment?
Hi Neighbours,
A near neighbour has alerted me to a number of dead sparrows she has found in her garden. We have noticed a decline in the numbers visiting our 3 bird feeders, with this evening no sparrows at all. We have not found any dead sparrows, but do have neighbours with cats, and we do have a visiting hedgehog family. Has anyone else, seen dead sparrows or noticed a decline in the birds visiting their gardens? DOC has been alerted.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Working pool pumps
Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
