Someone told me that Naphthalene (moth balls} can be used safely to keep seeds fresh and that its not at all toxic to the bird eating the seeds.
Have heard conflicting reports on this.
Don't want to put my bird at risk.
Anyone have first hand knowledge of this?
Johannesburg - A would-be hijacker was shot and wounded on Tuesday by the driver of the car he tried to hijack near Wemmer Pan in Johannesburg, police said.
Four men attempted to hijack the car on Mooi Street, polic spokesperson Lungelo Dlamini said.
"The victim was at the on-ramp of N17 when his vehicle was blocked by another car," said Dlamini.
"As he tried to make a U-turn, the suspects shot at his vehicle. The motorist got out of his vehicle and returned fire, shooting one of them in the foot."
Police arrested the wounded man and another man.
The two would appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court soon on charges of attempted murder and possession of unlicensed firearms.

Sculpted into beautiful pieces of jewelry or as a frame around a picture, gold has just about always had a special kind of hypnotic effect on most men and women.( please note: I said MOST)
Talk about gold and rest assured you will probably have the 'good, bad and ugly' as a tentative audience.
I want to purchase one of these beautiful rings and would appreciate all the expert opinions as to whether the price is reasonable in your country or not, or if you think its really way too cheap?
Ok here they are:
This one is about $70 with 4 diamonds - at your place would you say thats expensive?
At $54 would you say this 4(genuine) ruby ring is too expensive or fairly priced?
How about this beaut for $79? With CZ.
And this stunner with a blue sapphire also at $79 - Cheap or?
They all have a gold content of 375 out of 1000.
By voorbaat dank.
As one gets older all your 'talents' arent always appreciated. Like this guy, trying to impress a some younger ladies?
You will find this action in all walks of life. Drunks and sometimes sober 'idiots' that are trying to impress a certain audience. Some even will join forces with the 'devil' all in the name of 'impressing'
Usually much younger ladies..
Some women have that effect on men.
