Salted Peanuts Worth Peanuts
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.

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)
.
