Needing to rehome an elderly female black Muscovy duck 🦆🦆🦆
I have been caring for an elderly female black Muscovy duck (approx 10 years old) on the local council pond. Her Muscovy partner and other duck family were affected by the recent botulism, and as a consequence, she has been by herself and has been extremely lonely now for weeks. She cannot be relocated with the other ducks on the same pond, as due to her age and tameness, she is very prone to local dog attacks on the walking track. If you could please give (Bertha) a caring home that has a pond and other ducks (especially muscovies) or know of someone who can that would be awesome! This duck is not to be eaten! I can transport her to her new home. TIA.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
