Update! Birds are mostly doing great. Their combs are getting red. Since we'll eat from my hand now. The two big birds are the friendliest.
Unfortunately, one of them is struggling. See last few photos. It's walking with a bad limp. Doesn't walk a lot. The other bird sits with it most...

That's what I did. It's just wrong.
Even when we have to chill an animal we do it humanely. Honestly, it was more disturbing than I could easily prices. I'm no softy either.
Doubtful, in this case. From the news clip it looks like they live in a small rundown apartment building. Didn't even look like it had a yard or garden area. In this area there are a number of people who do this. It is horrible.
