Awwwww. Poor poor poor little birdies!!! How can people be so mean!?!?!?! I advise you all and myself as well, that the next birdie we get should be from a well known kigh quality breeder, where all the birdies are born here and are born as pets, raised with love and care, and sold to only those who the breeder can see will care. I wish I could save all those poor little birdies suffering, but the only way would be to buy them, and that would be supporting the mean wild bird trade. But then how will we ever rescue the poor little suffering birdies that are traded and treated horribly? I think its the government's responsibility to stop this trade and only give well known quality breeders the license to sell pet birds. That will help ensure that most of the birds are healthy, well-cared for, and loved, and that all of them will be in good hands both before going to their permanent home, and after.
