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.

WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME?
"Hello! I am a handsome devil named Ragnar. When I first came to SPCA, I was very very confused on what my role in life was, it took me a while to realise I wasn't being abandoned, through the help of the volunteers and staff. I previously spent a lot of time on a chain, so you can imagine it's been an adjustment for me. I still have a journey to complete, though have made great progress so far. I've enjoyed going for frequent walks, continuing basic training and of course giving all the cuddles and kisses I can! I am needing a home with some dog experience, to help coach me in life. I am also needing high, secure fencing of at least 1.8m. I will be a great companion for a lucky human, and won't hesitate to be your best pal in life. I am a big boy who may get overexcited around younger kids, but confident older kids in my new home would be fine. I have mixed with some dogs at the SPCA and have generally acted either very aloof or excited to see them, however I would get overwhelmed in an off lead area with other dogs such as dog parks. A social, patient existing dog could work well in my new home, or just human company is fine with me!"

"As a small city slicker, I don't see swamp harriers/kāhu (Circus approximans) that often (actually, I probably don't see them that often as we have falcons that live around here - the city raptor niche slot is full). We rumbled this one a couple of weekends ago feeding on some roadkill (as they do) on the gravel road to Boggy Pond in the Wairarapa. He was reluctant to go too far from his dinner, so I clicked a few shots as we walked past. Bird #58 in 2022."

Upper Hutt Lights Up

Michael from Trentham

Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.

It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.

Upper Hutt has a new night time display object.

It's funny but I mentioned what should happen last year ago on Neighbourly and finally, maybe someone took notice.

Its all about the tallest object in Upper Hutt - no its not a building in the CBD or a tree in Trentham Memorial Park - it's an old but proud chimney.

It is sited within the area that houses Brewtown and so several weeks ago the tall, narrow, ugly by day, concrete smokestack took on a night-time glamour all of its own with large neon lighting proclaiming BREWTOWN running almost from the top to near the bottom.

And guess what - it can change colours too: multi and singularily. A colour or colours to suit the occasion.

Tonight it is purple.

Just maybe it could be symbol of a brighter future for Upper Hutt.

Nice to know tonight's 110 driver heading north managed to skip certain parts of their licence, like leaving enough room when passing and not overtaking on the right of a right turning vehicle.

I had to make a right turn at the roundabout of fergusson and totara/Montgomery cres because the daft driver couldn't be bothered sitting behind me as I was going straight through (I was on a moped doing 55(digital dash)), and overtook me again after the fergusson shops(mad butcher) after I signaled to turn right.

Metalink got a call as soon as I got home.

I wonder what sort of reply I'll get, if any ?
