Agree.
I just know too many people who let their children throw away perfectly good animals.
I guess processing a ex-pet would be worlds different.
I would replace the existing flock (through attrition or selective stewing ect.) with identical looking birds in general, then 'pretty' isn't a reason to save a bird, personality is.
Mine are pets and egg-layers (or ornamental)
I would NOT let a child 'dispose' of a pet- that's the only thing...
